Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought gnutella, kazaa, and morpheus all use the same network?

Besides the whole spyware bundled in Kazaa and the new Morpheus losing all of it's advanced search options (*points back to my MP3 Quality post*), is there a difference between the two in terms of the network?
This is the deal:
Fasttrack coded the p2p sharing system implemented in Kazaa, Grokster and the earlier Morpheus. Gnutella is a completely different system. Then, for reasons unclear, Fasttrack modified their system. Kazaa and Grokster were able to change, Morpheus was not. So they had to change their file download system to Gnutella.

Personally, I use Grokster for mp3's (install ad-Aware!!) and eDonkey(www.edonkey2000.com) for larger files.
