Chessbase doesn't need people to stir trouble for them; they do it well enough
themselves.

If you're happy with Chessbase products/service, that's fine.  But some people,
including myself, aren't so happy.  Can you tell me how to get my Deep Fritz to
be 80% efficient on a dual machine?  I bought it because it stated so on the
box, but nobody seems to be able to get anywhere near that.  Why did the
released Fritz7 GUI have so many *fundamental* bugs in it?  What if I install it
on a PC that doesn't have Internet access?  How do I get it fixed?

I agree that Chessbase has produced some good software but because I have to pay
decent money for each and every one of them, I expect each and every one of them
to be of a sufficient level of quality, e.g tested to a minimal degree and it
does what it says on the box!
