Configuration issues are always a nightmare for any programmer.
And I think it's mostly bad luck that Tiger seems to have problems on some
configurations.
For example, on my machine it installed without a glitch (everything from the
first beta to the release product), and the book never "disappeared" or
anything.

OTOH, many customers are already "spoilt" because they compare everything with
the Fritz or Chessmaster GUI. I read some posts where people actually complained
that Tiger doesn't use EGTBs or doesn't have the "one click move" feature known
from Fritz and Shredder...

I'm not super-happy with the ChessPartner GUI either, but I believe some of the
disappointment is due to overexpectations. People have always been told "Tiger
is the best there is", so obviously they assumed the GUI will also be something
like "Fritz 7" or so...
