Now they have improved the tools and increased support for the growing Machinima creators and the work is outstanding.
They, the second life folks, held a session recently on exactly that. So far it looks like the most active actual DOER amongst us training professionals is John Hartman aka Thought Plasma inwold. His blog under the same name is at thoughtplasma.com. In the blogosphere, when are Scobleized, you've done something right.
Some amazingly creative people are using SecondLife in amazing ways. Starwood Previews New Hotel Brand in Second Life. Or how about the New Media Center's SecondLife campus. Check out the SecondLife Creativity blog for more 2L goodness.
I can only answer the question in the title of this blog post with the following quote:
"Nobody can tell you what the Matrix is, you have to experience it for yourself." ~ Morpheus, The Matrix
UPDATE: Don't forget about the awesome wiki resource for Educators and Training Specialists.

Johnny Hartman is definitely doing some cool stuff in SL, along with Eric Rice. Johnny's a friend of mine - we see each other at almost all of the Portland area geek evens - Portland Podcasting, Gnomedex, etc. One of these days I need to sit down with him and get the full indoctrination into SL, once and for all, instead of the little dips here and there that I've been taking. :-)
Second Life is a really cool way to provide lean six sigma training. I think this is a great idea with the growing popularity of virtual reality and video games. Hopefully it will help to provide process improvement to organizations taking part in such a system.
I hadn't thought of using SecondLife to train for lean six sigma or other project management techniques.
A great idea to give "real world" experience without real world consequences.
