Actually I'm not buying Chessbase products.  I'm buying the Fritz/Junior etc.
etc. engines.  I'm stuck with the Chessbase GUI's since that's the only way I
can get the engines.  It's a shame the engine programmers don't just get
together and form their own company and make their own GUI.   If Chessbase did
not have a monopoly on the engines they would go broke in a hurry.  Why defend a
company that is incapable of fixing their own bugs or if they do they introduce
more while doing it????
