Oh my god..... When you have a buisness you are in the buisness to make m-o-n-e-y that's only natural to believe anything else is downright ignorant and so is comparing chessbase to microsoft lol imagine if all the best commercial engines ran under the same gui ie. (not internet explorer lol just ie.) chessbase how easy and convienient would that not be? running tournaments would be easyer than ever b4. No one forces you to eat at mcdonalds, unless you are unfortunate to live in a neighborhood where all the kids have guns and have learned to use them, forcing you to overpolute the world by driving you down to mcdonalds and force feeding you happymeals until you can't stop smiling all paid for by microsoft and chessbase for the remarks you made :-) Eeeevil i tell you..... eeeevil Spooky regards Jonas"themissinglink"cohonas
