I am dissatisfied with this review. It does not talk about Limewire's mystery bundleware. This makes Newsforge seem like an untrustworthy advocacy site. (As opposed to an honest one.)
I know that Newsforge must make money, and maybe that forces certain unfortunate compromises. But on the same hand, any consumer wonders about spyware. I praise Limewire's obvious attention to engineering, and know they cringe about the spyware. But the fact remains that MSFT would be crucified for something half so bad.
If I am at all wrong, please respond. But simply saying, "Tina and Newsforge were only reviewing the paid product," just does not fly.
