Second Life launches Direct Delivery beta

The SL Commerce Team just launched the Direct Delivery Beta on the Aditi (Beta) grid for SL Marketplace.

See: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Merchants/Direct-Delivery-Beta-Launch/m-p/1327243

Direct Delivery basically means merchants won't need Magic Boxes to hold their Marketplace items for inworld delivery. Assuming the bugs can be worked out, this is certainly a long-term good thing. At the same time, the old if it ain't broke, don't fix it rule applies. Magic Boxes, while a pain to deal with, seem to work at least 98% of the time for me. Good luck Lindens!
