Subject: What's the verdict on Fritz 6?

I have Fritz 5.32.  I like its engine but find the interface & operating
instructions difficult. I still don't understand a lot of it. I'm considering
getting Fritz 6 and welcome any advice.

I have no interest in ChessBase, databases, openings, nor endgames, only in a
chess engine's ability to calculate the best move(s) in a position. I do not use
it as a chess playing opponent nor a tutor.  Thus I use Fritz in "Watch" mode
almost exclusively, not "Play" mode. Here are some relevant questions I would
appreciate a response to:

(1) Are the operating instructions suitable for rank beginners with the Fritz
interface (i.e. user friendly) ?

(2) Are Fritz 5.32 and other engines included with Fritz 6 on the new CD?

(3) What is noticably improved in Fritz 6 compared to 5.32?

(4) Any bugs?

Thanks!
