I was disappointed to see it still takes additional software. That’s a problem that can be easily fixed though – especially if they open source it. (And it turns out to be worth someone’s while to port it.)
To me, Second Life’s requirement of a (non-laptop-standard) graphics card is a huge barrier to entry. Hopefully some of the work that GNOME and others are doing can help them change that.

Still require a special software:
“Requires Windows Vista/XP with Internet Explorer or Firefox”
Not that impressed.

Those of my online friends still using Second Life laughed at me when I presented Lively for them. They think its a joke. And with no user-creation, it stands no chance against SL.
It is Google we’re talking about though. I’d be surprised if they don’t bring it up to standards – which most likely will mean a Linux client to boot as well.
Somehow, the lighter ‘room’ metaphor sits better with me than the ‘gigantic world of crap inside your computer’ metaphor of SL.
