Microsoft has already begun ridiculing the PS3 Linux. This is great news.
It means they feel threatened. The last time they reacted in this way it
was the OLPC project which made headlines. They also sent out their
analysts/shills such as Rob E. to spread FUD.
I would not surprise me if, out of deparation, Microsoft will consider a
Cell port of Windows. They'll call it Winnie-Cell. A Cell server will be
WIMP.
Windows is already running on Orange Phones. I think it's a variant of
WinCE but it is Windows.
Of course, that's a different form of "cell", but in theory a port from
Orange to Cell is at least contemplatable.
Also, Linux got to Cell first, and is also on various mobile
equipment.
We shall see.
Microsoft no longer feels the Linux pinch. 120 million PS3's (probably
with Linux which will have evolved a lot by then) by 2010 are nothing to
sneeze at. It's no pinch; it's a kick in the arse.
If not a slightly different (and far more painful) anatomical area.
