I believe that using one of the digital distribution services (eg: Steam) would mean that there would be a cost to Linden Lab on every update.

I agree with the Steam update idea to a point, especially now that Steam supports Mac, but there’s also Linux that might not be supported by trying to go that route.

There’s also the problem that Steam is a gaming platform updater and Second Life is not a game, a “Virtual Worlds” updater that included support for MMO’s, Inworldz, Heritage Key, IMVU etc would be the ideal way to go in my opinion. That could also include updates of non official SL viewers such as Emerald, Imprudence, Hippo and the Cool VW Viewer (and all the other viewers I’ve just missed out on).

SLCC was a great event and I’m still working out my notes before I post about some of the great things that happened and the people I met. I only briefly met you Dusan, but it was definitely a blast.
