Nope. Many companies use SL to conduct virtual meetings, display presentations in a virtual environment without flying out all of their executives, and even do things like floor plans and conduct exercises.

One of my personal favorite examples is Wal-Mart and their use of virtual space to set up their floor plans for their stores. This way they can set it up, walk around it virtually, see if it works, and learn from their planning. If it doesn't look right or work the way they want it to, they can easy scratch it and move things around without changing their stores and wasting the time and energy of employees to constantly reset the store format.

Wal-Mart is certainly a crazy evil corporation, but it goes to show how companies can take advantage of virtual space in unique ways.
