Haha, just because one guy is working on high-end graphics features for a way-future release doesn't mean they're abandoning all of
SL's audience except for the FIC and rich 1337 computer hax0rs.
Don't be so reactionary:
SL can still be run with basic shaders off for people with ancient machines (abacus), or it can have a major facelift just by turning them on (which the vast majority of people can)
Additionally the "next internet" is not going to be just one company, offering a single, homogeneous platform (that looks like a game from 2003) That's why there's different grids, software-initiatives,
SL-clients with different rending engines, and why LL is putting effort into the Architecture Working Group. bla bla.
