Beside since it is Open Source, there is NO way that software can "steal" CPU cycle like Kazaa. Moreover, all beta-testing code MUST be open source for similar reason. You worry, take a look at the code! I understand this require a lot of trust. But the reason I push this idea is I SUSPECT MS-Window (Especially Win-XP) has already running something like this WITHOUT your permission, thereby they get the advantage of testing their program under many different hardware platforms. If you don't trust other people who run "unknown" codes in your computer, why would use closed source product like MS stuff? Anyhow, it is run under PROTECTED MODE, in Linux we can make that as separate from other operation of computer as possible.
