Okay, in reply to your response on (3), i must advise you that even though Limewire may SEEM not to be spyware, it actually is. What else would let other users take files from your computer? This is just like the whole Rootkit problem with Sony. It might not be malicious in the beginning, but users could change it. Limewire IS open source, am i right?

For a non-biased opinion on this, check out http:\\www.computing.net and post a topic on the forum regarding whether limewire is spyware. I am confident that the users WILL tell you whether limewire is spyware or not.

Yours,
Michael.
