I see it like this. With this program (that unless I missed something) functions like a modified bit torrent client. For example, if you're in a corporation environment and have a training video everyone in 700 nation wide locations has to see about a new policy and they have to see it by tomorrow you can drop the video into a group folder and it's torrented out in the same multi-source transfer method used by bit torrent. Outstanding use of the bit torrent p2p structure and an undeniable focal point showing the legitimate and positive possibilities with the technology that the RIAA/MPAA type's have all but trivialized and wrote off to that being a small segment of it's use.... but really, has anyone tracked how many companies are growing dependant on said technology? Nobody that I've seen has done such a review though I know that instant messengers and p2p clients are used for business purposes every day in companies where I've been before. Anyway, while I'm concerned that it's M$oft that's taking the forefront on adding this kind of service into their OS instead of it being an outside company - it may make the use of said p2p lean more on the side of legality.... Time will tell. _-Jile-_ If they do go forward with this, it would make things nice for the End User that really doesn’t understand what p2p is or know much about computers.
