Some may also find it interesting that OpenLifeGrid has played virtually no role in the actual development of the OpenSimulator Project, they simply chose to use OpenSimulator to run thier grid, and then later forked the code into their own project, contributing virtually no code or technical support of anykind for OpenSimulator Project other than thier own closed grid. Bottom line people do your homework and dont rush into OpenSIM, take your time and research it and find out if it truly suits your needs before making any claims.

OpenLife made the mistake of selling an alpha product and going large scale much to premature. They are doomed to fail because OpenSimulator still needs at least another 6 months to become marketable to the masses and then will be the new standard 3D VR application server running the upcoming Web 3.0 (=Web2.0+OpenSimuator). Second Life is only a use case for OpenSimulator. Until OpenSimulator finished its journey we need things in the spirit of OSGrid. They help testing in large scale but charge nothing. And we need all those brave people that want to try OpenSimulator even if we tell them that they will be walking a minefield. It now the time for inventors that want to experiment with the new toy and try to find the killer-app of the Web 3.0. In mid 2009 our beloved toy will be foolproof enough for the masses, and then we'll hopefully see the first successful OpenSimulator based SL sized Grids that have real long term potential. But nevertheless this is a most exciting ride now and I really won't miss it because it reminds me of the 1992/1993 days when the WWW was born.
