OK, the four main points of the Resistance's arguments:
1. Spyware - but do they say what? No, just 'There is spyware.' There is no evidence whatsoever in either direction available to the masses, so innocent until proven guilty.
2. Cannot hide the advertisements - correct me if I'm wrong, but MP2 does this, no? Especially according to the screenshots.
3. No scope for addons - well, what is MP2? A banana? MS released the API details to Patchou after he pointed out the compatibility issues, and they stated that they didn't know it was so popular. It's their program, their servers, and their decision.
4. Eats excess RAM - Until I see some proof, I don't believe it. Claims must be PROVED. Using more RAM can be expected of new versions, it happens all the time and noone complains because unless you are talking in the region of 60Mb, it makes almost no difference at all. 3Mb certainly doesn't.
In all a pretty poor show for such well-respected experts as Eric Causey, Extort and Electrophreak.
