I did throw it against the wall like a >frisbee a few times when I first got it. But least I still have my CM6K (the >best so far) I will not be waiting for a CM9000 or the like as then I will have retired from the hobby of "buying chess programs" (to be precise). But I was expecting CM8000 to be best so far, especially as CM7000 was a bit questionable. But if this does not turn out to be decisively the case, I will either get CM6000 or nothing ever of CM (since my CM2100). Or is CM5500 even better? I'm interested in CM, besides its near-to-top-class playing level, for its many features, esp. many rated etc. which I can set as standards etc.and make several comparrisons with. But I would have done this a long time ago already. I had a freind who had CM5000, and it seemed quite good, but I would like something far above that in many ways. So if the 8000 can be made bug-free and greatly improved (esp. in playing level, and accuracy of ratings, and near reality in style emulations, and intelligence of commentary/mentor/speech), over all predescessors, then that would be best-I think.
