Sure, they don't get hit by viruses as much but I believe that's mainly due to the fact that the viruses are written for Windows. When Linux gets a 30% market share and people start writing viruses for them, then we'll talk."
Security problems don't require virus writers and marketshare isn't the cause of problems either.
For example, Apache web server has a greater marketshare than IIS but the number of vulnerabilities is SUBSTANTIALLY lower. Granted, we're not talking about a "desktop distro" but this illustrates the flawed logic behind his statement.
Is Kazaa more popular than Shareaza? If so, why?
If I'm not mistaken:
1. Kazaa has spyware
2. Kazaa only supports one P2P protocol
3. Shareaza has no spyware
4. Shareaza 1.9 beta supports gnutella v1, v2, BitTorrent and eDonkey 2000 (eMule) protocols.

I don't know why they replaced the existing RTCW sounds--especially voices--with new ones in RTCW-ET that sound horrible.
This opinion is unanimous with everyone I've spoken to during the beta. Perhaps there were contractual issues with the original voice actors?
