I guess that multiprocessor capability is not important for 90% of the users so chessbase has no reason to invest on commercial version of Fritz7 with more than one processor. I also remember that people complained about Deep Fritz and claimed that for some reason it is only slightly faster with 2 processors when Junior and Shredder earns more speed from 2 processors so I believe that chessbase were right when they did not release a multi processor version of Fritz(If they can do it only 20 or 30% faster with 2 processors then there are not going to be many people who are really interested in buying a multi-processor version of Fritz).
