This was a big story in 2007, when the Second Life hype bubble deflated. Seems strange that the BBC suddenly notices/remembers.

Did the author just do a system clean before a Win7 update and realize (s)he hasn't touched it in years?

It's like you're looking perfectly into a newsroom.

Journalist: "How about this pitch: 'Second Life, where is it now?'"

CoS / Section Editor: "Brilliant. An exploration of how the media jumps on a new technology bandwagon, defines it as essential, assumes it will last forever, and then forgets about it almost immediately. Just be sure to put a link on our Twitter feed when it's done."

Well, the BBC is a UK outlet; as per the story, it only became big then in 2007.
