Yeah, I agree. In fairness to the programmers, they like to do
"custom" stuff that is great for the time being, but doesn't stand the
test of time. I know a bit about programming since I hobby code. For
example, the CB9 has a feature where you can right click on the DVD
drive holding a database of games, and the database will automatically
be written to the hard drive. This worked great under XP, but when I
switched to Vista, this trick is broken--I could not even access the
BigDatabase2007 disc. Much more robust would have been to use the
standard Windows commands of "open" under a menu.

CB9 needs to become CB10 and be designed for Vista (I'm sure Chessbase
is working on it).
