Hamlet Au at New World Notes oversells the hell out of Second Life 2.0 Viewer as an "epic win" that will kick the air out of Open Sim & Blue Mars (to the extend they have any I suppose) that is the best thing since the polio vaccine. From what I can gather from comments on several blogs, the longer you have been in Second Life the more you hate it. Unless you are Ann O'Toole who was very clear on NWN she dos not like this one damn bit no matter the time span.
I do not enjoy the menus, I do not adore the layout, I do not like that it took me forever to find the upload option, and I do not like green eggs with or without ham. What I cannot deny however is HTML on a Prim is a major leap forward.
If you sell in-world video players, picture viewers, or even games, you may not like this feature, but it's so easy to use (and so very free) that you have to love it. In the video below is an example of what you can do in less than five minutes.
It even cuts back on 10L$ uploads.
As for games, I had mixed results. Facebook games work as did some lighter footprint web games, but MSN Games and a few other sites that wanted to add components or check browser version would not work. More likely I am guessing this is the cause. If so, not sure if that can be changed.
What's that? You are a blogger? Well, then you know we all yearn for attention and validation. Like poor Josue who is giving away lighthouses, pubs, and all sorts of items to win your love which I say is too much effort (even if he does get a hot blue taker sometimes). Besides, it's too much and they do not look at a lighthouse and think about your blog. Your need for attention goes unquenched. Which is why I suggest this.
Josue can get in touch with his inner Apple fanboy by giving away crappy 2 prim Apple tablet and phone ripoffs that display his blog. For me, I think a toilet plunger is more likely to keep me in their hearts.

You mean Hammy lied when he said it would cure cancer, give bald men hair, make the Middle East group hug, and come round my house to tickle my luve pump? HAMMY! YOU SWINE!!!!
p.s. Love the idea ppl can comment on my blog from inside SL
He has a few dreams and you have to admire the fact he clings to them. Like this one..
He also seems to either be very interested (or relaying the interest of the lab) is our real identities blending with our avatar. Can’t decide.
He (and the lab) do not get this is not Facebook where you chum around. People meet people, do nasty things to do, dance for them, and other stalk bait that does lend itself to real names (not to mention all the girls who are dudes will not embrace this one).
As for his return of the pissed off, not going to happen until you can drive a car for more than three seconds without shit going crazy.
On the advice of you who know more than I, I downloaded the betaviewer…didn't take long…I signed in and waited for my SL to begin…..well…..guess what guys! It CRASHED my computer! BIG time. Maybe I'm not compatible – maybe I'm not ready for the next generation. So you all trot off into the SL future I'll stay here on my old dragon viewer and watch the light slowly fade to black…is this how the dinosaur felt knowing extinction was near? Sigh.
I wonder, is it possible you installed it on your toaster again instead of your PC? If so, please do no shove bread in your PC this time.
Do the START / RUN and MSINFO32 in that box, it should bring up Hardware details we can look at.
