I agree, the problem is that in the world of influencing. A very large number of those SME's within SL are actually people proto-typing, path finding and shaping on behalf of the coroporate interest "outside".

If you give these influences a bad experience the influence they will carry into the board room to the question,

"hey should we have a secondlife presence"

is

"hey i tried it as a prototype, and the customer experience was woeful, in game support was woeful for our customers, and how would we get enough leverage with the supplier (linden labs) that they cared enough about our corporate presence and out customers experience"

I actually think the SME market needs to be vibrant and survive, and introduce the cross over into r/l, s/l for it to have any chance of getting real trading commerce through the door. IWOOT.COM is pretty close and cool tho
