    I think we all have to recognise the difference between Second Life and The Grid that contains it. Linden probably need to mainstream The Grid to make it more attractive to business and education because the 'be-bop' nature of SL is NEVER going to work for those groups. I don't care how positive a spin they try to put on what's already happening in SL, education and business needs a different kind of virtual space and aren't really going to take virtual worlds seriously until they get it.

    The Grid could give them that and could leave SL as the huge imagination-playground it already is. Think of Second Life as the capitol city of virtual worlds - a huge virtual melting-pot with room for all kinds of self-expression. As someone else has said - Second Life should be the Manhattan of virtual worlds. The best shopping, the most amazing places to live, the best clubs, a bohemian quarter, the cutting-edge designers, etc etc...

    Why do Linden have to make an either/or choice when they can have the best of both virtual worlds?
