Despite Microsoft’s virtual concert launch party for Windows Vista in Second Life, according to a recent post on Second Life's official blog, some Vista users cannot reliably connect to the virtual world. Second Life engineers are working on a fix, said blog publisher Linden Lab: "The changes that are currently in the First Look Viewer (a test version of the Second Life viewer) are an important precursor to any reasonable attempt for us to debug problems with running Second Life under Windows Vista. These changes are just about ready for an official release, at which point we will start the process of ensuring that Second Life runs under Vista." Linden Lab makes money selling virtual clothing, real estate and other goods. A spokesman for Linden Lab said the fixes are likely to be ready in a couple of weeks.

I kinda figured something as (supposedly) big as Second Life would have been testing it on the betas?
But, really, I know nothing about Second Life so I should probably shut up.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but don't the adverts from apple kind of say... "See how crappy the PC is... our mac won't do these annoying things".
The bring up the shortcomings of Vista and indicate these issues don't happen on a mac.
You would have figured that if MS was hosting a virtual concert for Vista in SL they would have at least bothered to make sure that Vista works with SL?
"Application A doesn't run under OS X! OS X sucks!"
"Application A doesn't run under Vista! Application A sucks!"
Hypocrites.
If it was designed for NT Windows and it doesn't run under Vista, it's the application's fault because Vista has advanced compatibility modes and what note. It's the developer's problem to update, not Microsoft's.
On some cases, Vista does suck, but not here.
"Application A doesn't run under Vista! Vista sucks!"
"Application A doesn't run under OS X! Application A sucks!"
Then again, just about everything else is opposite too when you live at the other end of the rainbow. (Canada)
As long as it's a honest opinion of the person posting that he/she think an OS sucks for this (regardless if it's true/correct or not), then that doesn't make the person a hypocrite. Keyword here being "honest opinion".
that one on youtube is funny and filled with no facts on truely nice it is to have for noob's in the new operating system
Having money-growing trees is also good when you want to spend real money on virtual goods.
Damn them also for not writing drivers for NVIDIA video cards.
Damn my employer for me missing the train to work this morning and coming in ten minutes late.
