Publisher's Description
From Linden Lab (R):
Second Life is a 3D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. From the moment you enter the world you will discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences, and opportunity. Once you have explored a bit, perhaps you will find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business. You will also be surrounded by the creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell, and trade with other residents. The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges.
What's new in this version: Version 3.2.6.248086 has added the ability to alter the amount of flashing of the IM tabs no longer works in Viewer.

"The viewer 2 has undergone improvement"
Version: Second Life 2.8.1.237758
Pros
Must faster then the viewer 1.0 edition and most other third party viewers. Despite it problems SL is still a great place for those with patience and some tech. savvy.
Cons
Most editions of viewer 2.0 have problems. A major snag in this edition is the absence of prim counts in the builders edit HUD. Other continuing problems still effect the viewer and SL performance over all. Problems that have been around far to long,
Summary
Still has a ways yet to go. Most in SL are waiting the arrive of meshes. Meshes that will add dramatically to the appearance of all things inworld.

Only Viewer through which you can become a Premium Member. Buy home and locate with SL viewer but use other viewer as your prime viewer, also notified the your own home is running on different settings.

"Excellent Program"
Version: Second Life 2.6.3.227447
Pros
Speed everything up once installed.
Cons
Took a while to get everything downloaded and setup.
Summary
Part of the reason it took a long time to load for me is my AT&T DSL is slower than molasses in the snow. Also I hadn't used SL for many months and it took quite a while to get fully updated. But was terrific once it was operating.

"User unfriendly log in window (for older computers?)."
Version: Second Life 2.4.0.216989
Pros
Used to be fun sometimes.
Cons
Boring most of the time now.
Summary
Only try this with the required graphic card. Though, chatting is possible with older cards. Have patience to meet the right people. It can be a very lonely experience. A lot of places in Second Life are deserted of people.
