Not for me, otherwise I wouldn't be here now, like many of you :) But perhaps for all those people who try it with wrong expectations, caused by the hype in the media (possibly inclusive PC-magazine? - I don't read it). I'd vote for the bad internet connection rates in Belgium. I'm living in the Netherlands myself, but have experienced the bad Belgian circumstances while being online with a good friend who lives there. Very annoying when your connection suddenly slows down, because you've reached your monthly limits... I'd call that prehistoric. And according to the other options: * Digital HD Television? I don't watch television anymore since I'm in SL ;-) * Windows Vista: hihi they did another try? I've been a Mac-addict since 15 years :D * I've been pretty content about online banking for several years. * Playstation: ask me again in a few years when my boys are older... * the rest: should I know what it is? Apparently not, when it's disappointing :P SecondLife a dissapointment?

But since it's not officially ready for prime-time and it's expected to have bugs it's not really that big of a disappointment.

Maybe from the standpoint of Hardcore gamers but not for people who want a decent DX10 card but don't want to pay $800 for it. As for SL, I look at it this way: It's the same thing when that so called News site revealed a poll that said the average SL user only spends 12 minutes logged in. (I have an Xfire profile that is to the contrary), take it as a grain of salt and when it comes to mass-media, plug your ears. Who gives a bat's as what they say, we already know better.

Only 3 more months until I finally can say this country goodbye and will be living happily in Finland. WITH DECENT INTERNET CONNECTION RATES! Fuck Belgium.

Besides if all suffer to login or to stay logged in, I'm doing OK. Dandellion, it was merely a bulleted list, no explenation, except for a little tiny bit with the PS3. You're right on OpenSim, but if I recall correctly, SL is not our world anymore? ;) Robby, I find ‘With 95% (rough guesstimate) of my online sessions suffering from “abnormal termination” and roughly 50% of sign-in attempts failing, I’m already severely disappointed in the platform’s stability and user experience‘ strange as lately I hardly suffer from those.

I am interested what they find so negative in second life to place it just beside Vista. I agree that SL is far away from perfect, but it is different when you or me or other resident rant in own blog and when PC magazine say it's a disappointment of the year. I spent this year on the grid and was there to protest both IDV and beating of the monks in Burma, my eyes were blessed with reflections of WindLight water and millions of zombies released by some PN idiot, I've said ugly things to Iridium and Trollofy but also sent a thousand of kisses to Torley and made love with.... well... some great and wonderfull people on the grid. And who is PC magazine to say anything about SL? What have they done except getting in the trend of spitting over the SL? Afeter all, SL is "your world, your imagination". Despite all the lag, bugs, crashes, glitches, despite many wrong decisions and lacks of communication between Lindens and the residents, it is still what you make of it. And PC magazine and other press is just asking from their readers to justify their incompetence and disability to to find their way there. One more thing... Robby... OpenSim is a part of second life. I am waiting for it too, and waiting to settle on an independent sim, but after all it is the same system. And possibility of having the OpenSim is what makes SL a great thing.
