I agree with you on merely every point. But Fritz >4 is still not a
100 percent windows program as it still doesn't allow me to use whatever
size I'd like for the program window. I can only choose between full screen
or minimize. Nothing in between. Therefore it's not a _real_ windows program.
At least not from my point of view. Just 98-99 percent... ;-)

Well, let's end it right their. Let's take a vote for some moderators
instead :-)
