LimeWire's legacy is safe now: Thanks to the work of many (trap_jaw and ultracross in particular), installers are available that can keep up with the best features of the LimeWire development. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumd...?s=&forumid=86

So, users will be able to have a smooth transition if they choose. Personally, I'm still hoping the US legal system will allow a way for LW to continue without having to be threatened or crippled by incredibly expensive legal fees.
