The best Micro is probably not worse than other(except deeper blue).

A micro is the world computer champion and not programs that were on better
hardware.

Shredder won Fritz and Junior that are not micros and drew twice against
Ferret(not a micro).

I believe that shredder had a good chances to win Ferret in the last game if the
time control was 2 hours/40+2 hours/40+2 hours/40 but it failed in tactics at
time trouble and missed a simple draw.

Some programs that are not micros did not score more than 50% in WCCC.
I think that the software is more important at tournament time control when the
programs with hardware advantage may be better at blitz.
