Why DID they change the executable name? I had to kill it manually once and spent about 20 minutes looking for newview, only to realize it's secondlife.exe now.

They have to justify the $8mil somehow. Do you know how hard it is to rename a file? It takes top programers and whole department of consultants..

Because secondlife.exe is self-evident, whereas newview.exe is evident only to feted inner old timers? :D

I don't know about that, but where I work, a filename change would require signoffs by at least four people.
