I've been using Limewire for sometime now and have always liked it. I installed 1.8 last night and have already uninstalled it. I have never been so disappointed in a new software release. If the banner ads and the shortcuts to crap software the installation software places on your desktop were not bad enough, THE PROGRAM RUNS LIKE CRAP! I am going to run anti-spyware software just to make sure they didn't install anything else on my system.
