I think you might have a point here. This week there is a (very nice) review of
Shredder 8 and Junior 8 at ChessCafe by Kjell Arne Brekke:
http://www.chesscafe.com/Reviews/books.htm

While he does a good job of highlighting all the general effects of the programs
all using the same interface and the outdated helpfiles in general for an
ordinary user( who isn't puzzled when Shredder calls itself Fritz 6 in the
chatter?), his basic conclusion that he can't think of any reason why one should
get one of the others, if he already owns one of them (Fritz, Junior, Shredder)
sounds even more convincing.

I really think you can only target nerds this way.
