IMO i dont think fritz will release its version (fritz7) yet, because business wise its a bad decision!! its more likely that they will release it at the end of the year (october-november). And if you think they will release it in 3 weeks (I doubt it !!) then dream on. because there are other things than just Fritz7 engine....ofcourse they will not sell you the same interface, they will modify it , add some new features, new database (??), and other stuffs. if they sell the same interface then its gonna be a "rip off!!" but again these are my opinions..... I maybe wrong ! pavel
