Sure, it needed to be corporatized a bit and given some focus but that duplicitous, weasley little douchebag hired a ton of useless VP's and a lot of his old cronies to break the culture of that company down so he could destroy it and rebuild it. The problem is that he had no clue what he wanted to build. So now, after striking out on almost all fronts, he lays off his bloated hires with large severances and goes back to building what they should've been focused on 4 years ago....viewing SL in a browser. M Linden is a visionless, politics playing little twerp. It's a tough call, but the board should get rid of him. I imagine this SL in the browser project will be his last at Linden. If it fails, the company will fail. Actually, the company is no longer viable in many ways so it's probably going to fail anyway...but still...M didn't need to hasten it's eventual demise.

Linden took over the company and that is failing at there product and making users happy. So many people are going to OS grid these days or just simply finding another game to play due to the issues of Content Theft, High Prices for sims witch even at that price you still get stuck on the same CPU as 3 or more other sims, Asset server being unstable, and failing to create a better new UUID for the client. I know for my sake as soon as OS grid gets coding and physics worked out I will have my own sim on OS grid that I run from my home server... It is LL doing what it does best sense M.
