I've done some things in the physical world that the virtual world can't, currently, come close to. I've also spent A LOT of physical world time in boring, shitty, stupid situations that aren't half as good as wandering around a Second Life sim. As long as I already brought religion up, here goes: NOTHING in SL is worse than spending Thanksgiving with my Born-Again Christian cousins. Lag is bad (and painfully "real") my family is worse. Great insights — I love that virtual borders are more real! :)

Since there's no standards for this type of thing I count it as a note worthy feat. My assumption, perhaps naive, is that bundling up a collection of assets is the 'easy' part once the agent is passed to the new server. I suppose we'll all have to wait and see.

That would be great. Unfortunately, I don't think that's what we're seeing here. What's being discussed is a non-inventory, non-body, non-clothing "transfer of an avatar". What? You mean LL managed to exchange a Ruth with Open Sim. That's kindergarten-level programming. So what is the big hullabaloo all about. Let me transfer every ounce of my hard-earned inventory... then we'll talk. Until then, this strikes me as ballyhoo over zip. I am all for interactivity between SL and Open Sim. That would be great.
