Second Life Viewer 2, now in beta, is the next generation of Second Life viewers that makes it easy to explore and socialize in Second Life with a familiar, browser-like experience, enhanced search, and fully integrated web-based media capabilities.
Second Life Viewer 2 connects to the main LIVE Second Life Grid environment. Keep in mind that this download is beta software and you might run into a few bugs.
We are looking forward to your feedback. Share your experience on Second Life Forums.
