Earlier versions (like v. 18) were silent tutors; recently, instructions and encouragements are provided verbally - giving the feeling you're interacting with a real person. Learning typing isn't fun, but this software at least gives variety to a thankless task.
You'll achieve improvement with any decent typing tutor, but it's easier to stick with learning with MB. I was surprised that there's an option for learning the Dvorak keyboard, and even tuneage to add variety. I can't think of any real competition to this software.
