And he's missing one big point: CELL architecture is PowerPC (Apple) + 8 other cores (non PPC). Get the point ? Linux and OSX are easy to port (IBM has already done it), but far away from optimal utilization of the other 8 cores. And M$? As i understand, they just started to move to PPC a month or two ago... But don't underestimate M$, with.NET they're fully on pseudo-assebler (MSIL), which IMHO is a good, if not excelent point to start from... And their new concept wich doesn't require a file to hava a parent folder AT ALL and the interface for it aren't to be underestimated... Im definitly on the linux side, but I expect much to come from M$.
