Minimize = opt out of downloading the client?
We’ll be releasing Second Life 1.18.0 on Wednesday, July 11th. The Main Grid will unavailable from 6am-12noon PDT (13:00-19:00 GMT) during this time. New viewers will be required following the release. The Beta Test Grid will be available during the downtime. - from the Blog |

I simply cannot imagine any reason why anyone on any development team at any company anywhere would think that was a good idea.
This is definitely one of those "I won't believe it till I see it" rumors. _____________________

I'd like to know what grapevine the OP has been listening to. _____________________

Ear to the railroad rail? *shrugs* I'm not going to worry about this one. It's not like my computer likes things to be minimized anyways. Or.. you know, we could just download the beta grid version and I dunno, try it and see? _____________________

after seeing how the .3 client turned out to be as a step towards 1.18, i`d say we`re pritty much screwed as an required update...

Yeah.. I can't see where the rumor came from. I can minimize the beta grid's client just fine. *sighs* Yeah, I'm bored.

Maybe they are trying to eliminate the ability to run multiple viewers? If you eliminate the multis, more individual players could log on, and LL draws more corporate ad cash.

This would be a blow to people with single-core CPUs.. Before I upraded to a dual core, my machine was horrible at doing anything else if SL wasn't minimized.

You really, really can! I just checked the beta grid and it minimizes just fine, at least if you are running XP. Dunno about anything else, sorry. _____________________

They also removed the ability to turn left when walking your avatar. To make a left turn, you must now swing 270 degrees to the right.
