On one hand this article is just an example of Microsoft pumping out another mediocre product.
The bigger picture however is one in which our children are "learning computers" but not really learning to think. Computers are tools and tools dont replace knowing what to do in the first place.
New Microsoft Program Offers Homework Tools But It's Clumsy to Use
July 28, 2005

Still, it is confusing and clumsy to use and disappointing in some respects. It is really a thin veneer thrown over several existing Microsoft products, rather than an integrated program designed from the ground up.
