eXeem Lite Public Beta Released
Found on Slashdot on Saturday, 22 January 2005
Just days after the release of eXeem Open Beta comes eXeem lite 0.19 Public Beta. Much like with KaZaA, the official version of eXeem comes chock full of spy/adware -- specifically, cydoor. eXeem lite is spyware free and free of bloat -- and free. Version .20, which should fix a few minor bugs, is expected 'in next coming days.' (read: soon)
That's the same reason why I never installed Kazaa. When it was clear that eXeem will be closed source, it wasn't hard to imagine why. If you want to try it, get at least eXeem lite. With such a bad start, I won't try it in the near future. But whoever wants spyware is free to do so.
