"The solution here is to bind the identities to user profiles rather than to the machine the client is running on. If each user profile has its own independent shares, hotlists etc. there is no reason why family members could not run simultaneously their own instances of the client on the same computer (perhaps using different ports). You yourself might want to use different identities to access different communities (movies, music etc), each identity having its own specific shares and social history."
Good posts tankgirl. I always had the same kinda thought regarding users of p2p apps and identities. Except the layer of any kinda actual cleint is one step removed in my vision.
