I do not agree.
They give the users less options.

I think that giving the users more options is better.
I think the users are intelligent enough to understand if the conditions are
suboptimal.

I do not think that CD-rom in the drive is optimal condition because I saw
Nimzo99 losing some games against Mchess because of the stupid way of using this
CD.

I also think that the CD-rom of Fritz is part of the Fritz program so they
should not let Junior or Nimzo to use it(The buyers of only Junior do not get
the Fritz CD).
