... that's originally a joke about "Stan the Man" Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg that Matthew Modine told SK on the set of Full Metal Jacket.
So if I read you correctly, Bill Gates = Steven Spielberg and Steve Jobs = Stanley Kubrick
Come to think of it...
On one hand you got a guy who made litteraly gallizions of dollars on expensive, mindless blockbusters that everybody and their cousin went to see (Jurassic Park, Raiders etc...) during two decades, and then switched to more "serious" issues (Schindler, Color Purple, Munich).
Doesn't that remind of Bill Gates making tons of cash on Windows, then turning on more serious activities like donating a huge portion of his fortune to charity?
And on the other hand Steve Jobs, the visionary, the perfectionist, the uncompromising, the man who hires people that are willing to top themselves at the risk of total exhaustion?
Read any article on SK and SJ and you well see that the analogy kinda works...
It's called OpenBlah, it has many features: HDTV streaming, 96Khz/24 sampling lossless encoding at 120:1 compression ratio, peer-to-peer real-time updates without restarting and an undelrying small-talk based OS with a korn shell! It's still under heavy developement (they just hit the planning milestone) but surely will it kick evil, closed-format Skype's ass like there's no tomorrow.
And the PS3, btw, may even boot Linux by default when you buy the hard drive, turning it into a full PC with six USB ports, a powerful graphics card, a decent processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, and three gigabit ethernet ports.

You said it had three gigabit ethernet ports, more than one port needs a router.

There won't be a gigabit router in the PS3 anymore
... it definitely feels snappier.
