Blogger Kiyoshi Saruwatari claims that Nintendo's upcoming Wii console runs
on the open source Linux operating system. According to Saruwatari, who
claims to be a Nintendo insider, the company reduced development costs by
leveraging open source software and incorporating a Linux kernel into the
Wii software platform. A wide variety of additional features like web
browsing, video playback, file management, and emulation all run on
Nintendo's custom Linux operating system, which uses a proprietary
interface.
