Yes, that is a positive point you are making, I agree

Hmmmmm, I can see the streamlining UI part of it, but it seems more a means of Marketing Research about spending patterns and rental statistics etc., which may have its uses internally, granted, but also means that Linden Lab might get deeper into the inworld commercial flow, which is a possible worry when it comes to free market values as they have been so far. Another concern is future advertising bombardements as generally despised by consumers in search engines and on social platforms. I am not a big fan of that type of consumer 'control' and private information harvesting, to say the very least, so I may be biased or distrustful, but time will tell. I do have a majority of friends in Second Life that state they would leave this world if Second Life would go down the evil marketing/advertisement/data-harvesting-and-selling-social-control path as other platforms do. So, I hope Linden Lab does not fail to realize that and will keep following the 'by residents, for residents' path and keep that integrity, so Second Life will prevail a little longer:) P.S.: while I am in here: Patch, we need to talk, I have the perfect and very simple solution to the Bellisseria Entertainment ordeal, that will solve all problems and bickering and encourage more people and entertainment disciplines to organize events there, lol, so gimme a a yell:) Tintin
