How could the DB >guys prepare for _that_??? My point is not that doing a match against an unknown computer is unfair but the fact that the opponent of Deep Junior had the advantage of the possibility to prepare against an opponent that is almost the same. Kasparov could not buy an opponent that will play against him the moves of Deeper blue in 80-90% of the cases when I believe that the opponents of Deep Junior could do it(It is possible to check how many moves in the games Junior6a can predict and I guess that it is 80-90%).
