&lt;p&gt;I hate to be the one to break it, but you're not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last October Sun launched the Nigara 2 class of servers on Second life, and I'm sure we were not the first to do a full fledged product launch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It might be a first for Microsoft, but certainly not a first on Second Life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is not to take anything away from the fact that you are doing it, which is a wonderful thing of itself and I wish you all the best for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the search box, below the Location box, you can manually dial in the coordinates. &amp;nbsp;Put 175 84 23 in and click &amp;quot;Teleport&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;When you land, and everything has &amp;quot;rezzed&amp;quot; (appeared), turn around and look for the Orange Triangles, and click one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I honestly don't know. &amp;nbsp;give it a shot and let me know if you can. &amp;nbsp;when I was a *NIX guy I would use a virtual machine to run most of my windows stuff and vice versa now that I use windows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the late reply to your post but we have been pretty busy lately. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everyone who reads my blog knows I’m a no BS kinda guy so it looks like the verbiage I used was confusing. &amp;nbsp;I want to set the record straight, of course: &amp;nbsp;We are setting Microsoft history not Second Life history. &amp;nbsp;There have been plenty of launches for products on Second Life. &amp;nbsp;Actually, there have been launches for Microsoft products as well but there has never, in Microsoft's history, been an all-day event with three full tracks in Second Life. &amp;nbsp;This is what I am most proud of.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I should point out that Second Life doesn’t run on Microsoft products. &amp;nbsp;I feel particularly proud that Microsoft was willing to give me the resources to build a community in this type of environment. &amp;nbsp;I am doubly proud that the Microsoft User Group Island is 100% built by the community and its leaders. &amp;nbsp;Microsoft did not hire an outside company to build it nor did any of its employees build it for the simple reason that we feel the community should control the island. &amp;nbsp;The only thing we have done is provide money and the island to the community leads so they can see their visions realized. &amp;nbsp;I think even IBM and Sun haven’t had an entire sim built and maintained 100% by the community. &amp;nbsp;Slap me around if I am mistaken here Alan &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think currently Second Life doesn’t run on Sun’s hardware and software either so I applaud your efforts in an environment that doesn’t use your products. &amp;nbsp;If there is a Sun equivalent of me over there have them send a friend request to CSharp Writer so we can talk about doing stuff together. &amp;nbsp;I am all about having a group hug with you guys in Second Life and would be happy to share insights with each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See you at the launch!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I plan to have talks with her to see if there is something that Microsoft and Sun can do together inworld. &amp;nbsp;We will see what shakes out but I think there is some definite possibilities there.&lt;/p&gt;
