File Sharing: Decentralizing, Open-Source Fasttrack

Unfortunately, most networks are proprietary, but at least there is now an open-source client to access the most popular network, Fasttrack's Kazaa/Morpheus, which was originally only accessible under Windows (around 500,000 users online at any time)."

Most Slashdot readers use Windows. Ask Taco, he does too! If they didn't why would this article have been posted? If Slashdot had article moderation, then we would really have the answer.
But, alas no, Slashdot is stuck in 1997, not 2001.
Your elitist attitude reeks of elderberrys. But, thanks for sharing that.
