An internal document written by Sharman Network's chief technology officer has revealed that the peer to peer provider's employees "hate" installing the Kazaa software because it has ill-effects on their computers.
According to a document entitled "Kazaa Technology 2004", written by Phil Morle, Sharman needs to be careful about installing too much adware on the user's computer upon the installation of the Kazaa software.
The document said the adware "slows down users' machines and can affect other activity such as browsing the Internet". Morle added in his statement "We are also adding increasing p2p networks to the users' machines. These are good value to users but they use more resources and create confusion for users as to what resources they are sharing and where this can be controlled."
