James,
Yes, Chessbase GUI's have bugs. I'm not trying to defend Chessbase. The point I
am trying to make is if someone is dissatisfied with a product or service then
stop paying good money for bad products/service. The only way a new company can
rise and challenge (i.e. AMD vs Intel) Chessbase is if people buy their
products. I enjoy reading constructive comments/complaints about Chessbase
products. What I don't like is ridiculous accusations like Ralph's. Fritz7
updates do cause problems, but they do not cause your computer to crash 3 times
in a row when trying to install them.
