I think what IBM annouced is a natural shift from our open world, they will move into closed spaces, LL software will be run by IBM and behind closed doors in order to obtain a "propietary" collaboration platform. That has to be the answer for their work and safety requierements, and by the way moving out of SL allows them to elude certain distractions and side-effects, as well as temptations. I bet we will see plenty of IBM avatars coming into the regular SL just for fun and of course under different names, like regular folks spending lindens in a free afternoon. I think is a natural and smart move for companies looking for a serious collaboration platform, I hope Sun, Cisco and others follow IBM's example. This might mark the beggining of the end of time when large companies sent employees into SL to explore, without preparation and without awareness of the ups and downs of the platform, at least as I hope. Bye bye! Hello Sig!
