Fritz 9 being a strong engine is not a sensation. We assume the next version to be stronger than the previous version by atleast 50 (which has been the trend). While Rybka is a sensation; it beats the crap outof everyone and it came out of nowhere. If the next version of Fritz (10) is atleast 100 elo stronger than the next version of Rybka, than we will see a lot of interest on fritz IMO.
