What is 2.0 supposed to be, Linden Lab’s version of Vista? With all the flashy do da’s that don’t do anything useful described it sounds like play time with Lad’s programmers.

You should use our viewer. Ours allows ya to just take the clothes someone is wearin. Who needs that?
Emerald is the best viewer. We can take whole builds.

Ha ha with the length of that address bar it looks like they are “forward planning” to the day when there is unique address for every resource in the universe. That’s going to be a long time coming so for now – and despite the attempt at a minimal UI – its just a complete waste of valuable space.

[Q]Frankly, if that’s how their designing V2, no wonder their trying to crack back on Third-Party Devs, it looks, smells, and tastes like shit, and really emphasises how LL are starting to base stuff off their largening E-peen; An interface that’s only moderate usage would be for right-clicking Poseballs, now with added “features” to make your lover feel even more… Anonymous.[/Q]

This means that ma and pa kettle are cumming to SL in droves. Which in real world terms equals money, lots of it. It smells like money and it will taste like money. the times they are a changing.
A report like this would have me buying stock in Sl when it debuts.
Standardized servers, easy to use interfaces, and all this added in with a secure spot in the metaverse already, It means this SeconfLife = big bucks. Those third party viewers will have to be cut out. LL knows this.

Will I miss the old SL? Of course, but it has run its course. It is now time for something new.

SL is FOREMOST a Communications medium.
Sounds like a disaster approaches.

My eyes bled when I saw “Leaker”‘s GUI Screenie.

Linden Labs, screwing everything over, and then some.

I do believe my Name’s Current URL is appropriate though.

I have to laugh at the assertion that all Instant Messaging interface design can be traced back to ICQ. I guess the person saying that is too young to have ever used IRC or *gasp* any of the pre-internet BBS (Bulletin Board Service) chat rooms.

I’m at a complete loss here. How can this have gone to build? Most of these issues should have been sorted out at the design stage (although I did notice a reference to no design documentation available to the testers – probably because there isn’t one).

The only thing that this demonstrates is that LL still have that uncanny knack of taking a good idea and screwing it up. Certainly this isn’t fit for a Dec 2009 release as promised and if this is the state of it then a late 2010 is probably optimistic too.
