Plan9 on a cheap and very effective piece of consumer electronics
looks very
possible this morning :-)
I heard a bit more today. 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.

In order to run the OSes, we need an HDD. So in order to declare that
the PS3 is a computer, I think we'll have [the PS3's HDD] preinstalled
with Linux as a bonus.
Doesn't this mean PS3 will have virtual PC environment as a bonus?
