...We’ll close with a ceremony including a special guest speaker with a very important announcement. ...

So.. What's the announcement? It doesn't sound like something they expect us to hate.

IPO? New CTO? Tier drop??

Doubling prim count on all full-prim (not OpenSpaces) sims?

Not holding my breath, but Gods, would that be cool...

IPO??? Lord I hope not. If you think customer service and grid stability are bad now just wait until LL is run BY the investors FOR the investors. Residents? Who the he** cares about them?

The special guest will be M Linden, and he will announce (to a crowd of child avatars) that he is both Katt AND Dusty.

No, no, no. It's "_Where_ is Magellan Linden?"

I'll make my wild guess, the guest will be a representative from IBM, announcing they are taking over the mainland from Linden Lab, and placing it behind an "Iron Firewall". Passports will be needed to pass to and from the mainland and private islands. Inventory search and seizure will be mandatory. :p

Oh for goodness' sake, I didn't notice that at all, which is very remiss of me.

Whether they expect us to hate it or not is not necessarily a guarantee of whether we _will_ or not. "We have a special announcement that every resident will love - we are merging with There, and also introducing banner ads!" Linden Group Chat: "What? Why are they making all those vomiting gestures?"
