Duration of ownership: 12 Months
Strengths: Wide range of community members and music/vids. Kinda quick at times.
Weaknesses: Limewire will not filter out porn crap not viruses/malware.
Overall Evaluation: you have to judge youself what to download. If for example you see "batman Begins" hosted by 43 people but has a filr size of 473Kb, you should probably be suspicious. Limewire itself has no spy/adware that I found.

Weaknesses: the entire product stinks
Overall Evaluation: i was fooled by the advertising paid for the download and was instantly displeased this product does nothing it promised. worse yet i was fooled into futher purchasing a "pro" upgrade that proved to do nothing but, prove i wasted good money on a bad product

Strengths: has wide songs for download but limited videos and movies.
Weaknesses: has lot of viruses and spywares. so be careful while downloading especially if you find common sizes.
Overall Evaluation: Cool. You can backup its folder then uninstall it from your system. Then from the backup folder you can run the application just like the application is installed.

Strengths: Very good and easy to use.
Weaknesses: Limited in song and artist selections. Does not allow me to output songs to cd.
Overall Evaluation: Was able to download the application very fast and was up and running in no time. I have only used it to download music which it did well. a little slw at times. Will buy the pro if i can burn the songs to cd. Even i itunes i am not able to do so
