So stumbled across this the other day. I don't know if this is old news in the SL community, as I have not been a part of it for some time, but I found this to be particularly interesting and couldn't help but wonder how it would impact the already vast SL community.

Something to think about. My thoughts are personally that Microsoft is just avoiding being a copycat as Sony did with the Playstation Home Concept. Why be a copycat when you can own the original? My thoughts are also that this may be Microsoft's answer to the PS Home and could be injected into the MS Network where Xbox users and PC users alike can come under one format. Just a guess.

We are honored to exhibit her "Living Canvas" collection and hope that you will all come out and share her opening starting 3 ~ 5 SLT with music by the outstanding DJ Azu.

I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
