Fritz 7 is not an update. It's as simple as that. It's two
new engines.
You can argue about version numbers all you want, they mean
nothing. If ChessBase decides that it's new enough to warrant
a new major release, that's it.

Based on the results that some people are getting, they may well
be right.

You should be thankfull that you get two engines for the money of
one instead.

Thinking that buying something automatically entitles you to
free updates of any _new_ version that is published is redicoulus.
Expecting bugfixes for the most critical bugs is more realistic,
but even that is often not done.
