Yeah Critter's not all that far behind. But Houdini 2 is due to come out soon, so it'll be another massive set-back for the competition if the rival programmers.

Houdini is the strongest and will be for the forseeable future.

Deep Rybka 4 is slightly better than Houdini 1.5 and Fire 2.2 xTreme beats Houdini 1.5 sometimes.

Houdini 1.5a is the strongest engine in the world.
Houdini 1.5a is now indeed the no. 1 on the rating lists,

From the most reliable source,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houdini_(chess)
Free for non-commercial use, since the release of version 1.5 in the 15th December 2010, it has taken the top spot in every rating list that includes it.
cool

The answer is quiet simple. Take a look at where the strongest machines plays every day (aka: Playchess Computer Room) 99% of people there use only one engine. So many people can't be wrong.

Nice try but it's only August. April Fool's is 8 months away.
