They do not care about opening books. In Australia, chessmaster is sold in most stores that stock computer games and software. Were it is near impossible to find Fritz, Rebel, Shredder, or any other popular chess program, other than getting it from my chess store. Only one place I know where I am, otherwise I would have to order it from another state. Professional engine, Crappy interface. But from what I hear its getting better with CM8K. Just a shame that people were telling them what to do when CM6K was released. Just that they did not listen and served us up a sub-standard CM7K. We can only hope. Remember CM series is mass market software. Not for us chess software nuts who only want the best in engine and interface to meet all our chess needs.
