I  think this depends on what opening book you use.  The Genius 6 book is by
far the worst opening book I have seen in any chess program.  Fortunately it
is possible to import book files from older versions of the program.  I have
deleted the Genius 6 book from my hard disk, and currently uses the Genius 3
and Genius 5 book files.
