Microsoft's Visual Studio Island in Second Life

First just let me say I am not at all excited about having a whole second world where Microsoft releases software. One world is enough. Actually I never play games because they are far to time consuming.

I figured I would check out the Visual Studio Island in Second Life however because they are planning some events, and my current company does not pay to send us to any events. Brad lists them here.

I would be willing to log in to hear talks and the such, I figure it is kind of just like any other webcast you have to log into.

In my first initial visit I teleported to a giant hole in the ground, then I fell off the second story balcony of the Microsoft Visual Studio Island Complex, and then finally arrived at the bulletin board below (A nice Second Life feature lets you take screenshots).

I thought I would post that the signing up and logging in was effortless. I was in and transporting into holes and falling off balconies in no time at all. The signup process is painless and quick. I will most likely try to attend Brads ("Drab Beck" in Second Life) ASP.NET AJAX to Silverlight talk.
