The user interface seems particularly nice, I need to do some more investigation to see what kind of skin creation features it offers…

The interesting part is that Linden purchased Windmark, they must be feeling a bit more comfortable of late financially which is a good thing. I have to say purchasing existing technologies to improve SL is a good tactic, the existing Linden developers would be hard pressed to put in the time required to develop these features from scratch.
