Anybody know why Kazaa released a 1.5.1 version? What new features it might have in it?

Well Awesome it may be, but one has to wonder WHY so soon after they were praising v 1.5 they have to issue another update?

could it be to counter the new "hacked version" of the "De-Groked" Grokster, or just another example of BIG BUCKS getting into file sharing, like the inevitable "Bead counter" takeover of any usefull looking setup that could be making money?

More of the same I reckon, following the same lines as many, tempt the user with a new version, NOT for their benefit, but to take a tighter control, of what they do... Hey mybe gIFT got hold of the keys, and its like another Morph 1.3.3 episode...

Ho Hum.... interesting times yah?

Wonder if Ad-Aware are keeping up with all the new cydoor stuff?
Looks like they might be the next Co' to fall foul of the spyware wars...?
