As it stands teh attack seems to depend on Sun's java compiler acting to produce very specific instructions. It's a reasonable assumption that Apple's version of Java could work slightly differently.

Im no linux expert, but the PS3 will be running some form of it, and, afaik, drivers for things like cd/dvd drives are programmed into the kernel, so I assume sony would have to put the driver for it there. Since linux is GPL'd they would also have to release their modified code, which would have all the necessary blu-ray details taken care of.

I haven't tried it myself(still using azureus), but i think wine 0.9.11 and higher can run uTorrent.
So... does the pony run linux?
