Qwaq - Second Life for Business?

We've all heard of Second Life - a virtual world, very much like the real one, in which you can make money, buy a house, meet people for coffee, etc. Well, now there's a similar place strictly for business. Qwaq describes itself :

Qwaq Forums are unique: they are virtual spaces for real work. Like offices and meeting rooms, Qwaq Forums are places where users can go to work, to collaborate with others, and to identify and solve issues.

By creating a complete, virtual space with all the tools, data and interactivity needed for a single topic, a Qwaq Forum creates a highly immersive environment where ideas can be explored, solutions to issues tried out, and where content can be created and used.

All work done in a Qwaq Forum is persistent; all users can see all previous changes and additions; this allows team members to capture all progress made and to hand off work to each other as needed. Users can occupy many different Qwaq Forums in the course of their day to help them organize work on different topics or with different teams.

Using Qwaq Forums is like having your own skyscraper -- you will never run out of working space!

Sounds extraordinarily interesting. Anyone tried it yet?

The thing here I worry about is, this "standard" edition stuff. You know when a company caleld something standard, and its part of a series family, soon a PRO version or something similarly named will surface 3 months later. Wait it out!
