Subject: Kingside attacks and King safety

I wonder if anyone can confirm or disprove my guess about Fritz 5's
assessment of king safety / kingside attacks. From observing numerous
games it seems that Fritz has an agressive approach to weakening the
opponents kingside and to aggresively open lines for active piece
play against the opposing king. I've seen it play many brilliant moves
that quickly open lines, leading to mate or big material gains. I've
also seen this tactic backfire also (as in the recent KKUP2 games
against Rebel and CM5500 - the first game that was cancelled). Does
anyone else see this as a style of Fritz's play/programming? If true
is this unique to Fritz?
