I dissagree!

The vast majority of CM sales are to Joe Public and not chess computer addicts
like us.  Additionally the ChessBase or Millennium engine would sell for MORE
than CM 7000 ($59 compare to $35 fo CM) so it would only be the enthusiasts that
would buy it.

If you have some objection to ChessBase then what about Millennium Chess System?
