Longhorn [...] will make malicious software (malware) that gets onto computers without the users' knowledge "a thing of the past".
Well, actually, that means Longhorn users will know if something has happened to their system ("Did you know that......your system has been compromised by malicious software? Click here [www.microsoft.com/malicioussoftware/] to find out more about malicious software...")
The reason Kazaa doesn't work for everyone is because it's the last remaining closed P2P protocol.
There's one more left: WPNP (WinMX).
2.x has been disassembled, and a plugin for Lopster has been written.
But no one could use it more than a few weeks: Frontcode changed the WinMX auth routine in 3.x, which hasn't been disassembled until now.
There's even a sourceforge project (LinMX), which, of coure, hasn't released anything until now. Maybe some of the slashdot readers out there have the skills to help it out...
WinMX also doesn't run in WINE. For me personally, on the other hand, it doesn't matter, the OpenNap networks have far more TB out there than anything proprietary.
