The primary viewer for Second Life is [[Viewer 2]], available on the main [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Downloads] page.  That page also has links to the Viewer 2 Beta, a pre-release of the viewer that is being tested before becoming the new default Viewer 2.
 
The viewers below provide alternate means of accessing Second Life.
