Just trying to rake up some muck for the debate :) We have to hang onto our reputation as the Grid's yellowest newspaper <i>somehow</i>.

The article I wrote is completely an opinion piece, and its contents are quite debatable. I might have emphasized the need for a new engine in the context of gaming, but I'm not looking at gaming as the holy grail. I'd like a highly-responsive Second Life experience regardless of whether I'm playing an in-world game, watching a fashion-show, or (*shudder*) dancing at a nightclub. I think my point about gaming was more that Second Life bears a resemblance to games but isn't on par with them in terms of performance. Thanks for the linkage, Walker.
