Sophos to cut you from Second Life

According to Sophos' latest press release Administrators will be able to block network traffic essential for the multiplayer online game Second Life using Sophos Antivirus very soon. The implementation of its application control ability allows to control which websites and online applications can be accessed using the PC. This service, which intention it is to raise productivity in companies, will start with integration of the 'Second Life'-strings into the usual updates on 22nd of March.
That is a pretty unusual approach - Second Life might have 4 Million users. But only around 25000 can be seen online at the same time at most. They should have started with World of Warcraft which has around 2 Million users online everytime. I don't get the hype around Second Life. It's hideous and there is nothing really appealing in it. But that might just be me...

I only go to the island every other week to see what they have built. It is kinda cool in its own way. Until you start learning on how to make things it can be a little slow.

No, you don't get all the hype. . . There was a PC gamer article a while back about how Second Life had a semi virtual/semi real Amsterdam attraction. And the in game money can be exchanged for US$ (online hooker anyone).

On the now deleted WoW subject, blizzard would destroy them with the hundreds of millions they are making each month on those millions of active subscribers ;)
