Not really, but you do need to be able to look and be wiling to put the work in to do it all on no budget (or even low budget, but no budget is just as possible). By it's technical definition, they're correct! However we all know if you want to look good in Second Life you better be able to pay up.

Stop claiming to be a free virtual world. No mention of GPU either, while we all know that for a 'okay' experience, you'd at least need 4GB of virtual memory about. It tells you you need a CPU and RAM, but not what kind, clockspeed ect. I did have a little chuckle at the system requirement page.
