I to am working at a large coperate with IE as the internal standard (we're not even supposed to have Firefox on our machines). That said Firefox works great on their network (though they don't use CaptiveX).
I'd like to see some sites using XUL for admin backends etc. Lets make some sites Firefox and Mozilla specific and see what happens:P
Considering Linux is already ported to Cell, I'd say this shouldn't be a very difficult platform to develop for. Most of your development can happen fairly normally, and you graphics dev, well thats though OpenGL 2 ES (or something of the sort) so thats easy enough.
I would like to see a language dedicated to the platform so that I could really take advantage of the Cell, but who knows.
I really don't see a problem for developing on the PS3.
Nvidia are the ones creating a graphics processor for PS3. They claim it will be the most advanced, feature rich and powerful graphics processor ever created (to be expected). Need I say more?

I wouldn't be supprised, since PS2 runs linux. It might take some time for linux to be ported but I'm sure it will be. Currently there is a special OS under development specifically to deal with the Cell CPU.
It's also Cell's capability to seemlessly share processing power with other Cell processors nearby by using a very hight bandwidth wireless-network. The other fact is the Cell is implemented with multiple processor-cores rather than additional (or additions to) the processor APU.
There is research going on for Blu-Ray's still to try and product 100GB and 200GB disks (at 25GB/layer).
HD-DVD-R disks are also limited to 15GB (one layer) where Blu-Ray will allow recording on multi-layered disks for all recording drives.
Let's face it: HD-DVD sucks!
