It is usually not the case.

I saw cases in comp-comp games when the programs were out of book in the first 5
moves.

example not from comp-comp games:after 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 the move exf4 is
not in the book of Junior5 and the regular book of Fritz5(16 bit).

I think the problem with programs is that they have not enough knowledge of
theory and I do not talk about moves 20-25 but about the first 10 moves.

I prefer to see more knowledge about these positions and less knowledge about
positions after 15-25 moves.

There are also many case(I think most of the cases) when after 25 moves there
are many pieces in the board and there are not only a rook,2 pieces and a few
pawns.
