I would cautiously disagree with this negative assessment. I am running OS 9.1 on an iMac DV+, and I have seen steady improvement in the last few Limewire releases. There are still problems, but fundamentally the software looks very impressive. At least, when I can SEE it....

The most vexing problem I've encountered has been a failure of the software to properly re-draw the active window, especially when switching from (say) "Search" to "Connections," then back again.

As a non-techie user, it's hard for me to assess how much of this problem lies with LimeWire itself, and how much arises from the Mac's implementation of Java. In any case, the LimeWire team appears to have been trying to rectify the problems, and the situation has improved considerably since version 1.2, the first one I tried.

My own feeling is that we should be supportive of this very worthy and ambitious cross-platform undertaking. I am grateful to the LimeWire folks for continuing to support the Mac platform.
