Also, read the article carefully. Other OSes are in the context of the virtual machine. PS/3 OSes run in a VM environment. In other words, you can port an os but it will probably be running on the Sony hypervisor. So, get ready -- we'll probably need more Plan 9 interfaces to virtual machine environments. So, anybody want to help with Plan 9 port to Xen 3.0? :-) Other good news: current claim is that on VT technology Pentiums you can run an unmodified OS! ron
