Kazaa V Gnutella? - No contest

[timboyce]

On entering this forum I was confronted with a pole on why Kazaa attracts more users, unfortunately the blatantly obvious answer wasn't there. I would be inclined to say "Because there are more Windows PC users in the world than any other computers." Gnutella is a far more advanmced peer to peer network whereas Kazaa belongs to Sharman, which is much less developed company. Gnutella provide access for users of other coputers and OS's. Why does this mean something to with me? I'm an Apple user. Currently I run Limewire 4.0.7 on Macintosh OSx, and personally I would recommend it any day to anybody whereas Kazaa I certainly would not. For a start Kazaa only ever release betas for free download, if u want the package that won't damage your machine it's got to be Kazaa Gold, or the De-bugged version of Kazaa Lite. One more thing that I would add is that the reason that Kazaa damages computers is because included in your free download package is a nice bundle of spyware, adware, malware which starts to circulate as you begin downloading your first song. Months and years onward and your machine will eventually be over-run with this software and will no longer operate without a re-format. Limewire (and i would have thought this would apply to all other Gnutella clients) has none of this, which in my opinion is how it should be and as more and more people hear of this I would have thought that Gnutellas users will increase. Anyway, all of this is only merely my opinion on the subject and I'd be interested to hear from any of you who out there who feel the same or would like to add anything. Cheers.
