XD , I don't think they're making that anymore or if it was ever released it's going to be hard to find and it won't be worth it.

Even if Sony did "TRY" to make an Operating System, it would fail anyways because it'd be plummeted with DRM out of this world. Microsoft would eat Sony alive if they nearly tried to enter their arena!

Operation Systems are much more than simple software, face it, it's way out of Sony's league.

ya know- one thing is for sure- sony is pretty damn good at making a system very safe- the psp as the exception has been modded so many friggin times you can even cause your psp to have automatic hack updates. the ps3 on the other hand- hasnt had much hacking at all. the site i check for psp's hacks is updated almost daily, but i havent seen ANYThing worth noting for a ps3 hack. that says a lot when you look at the 360 and windows.

well uh- microsoft does a pretty bad job at it. i went back to xp almost as soon as i upgraded to vista. i also have a macbook and that thing works extremely well- and since im not big a pc gaming, i really couldnt care less about anything on windows. even office looks and works better on leopard. i think sony could easily do it.

They already have... you can access it through the XMB.

An operating system is just software that let you control the hardware. There is no magic there...

Actually I think Sony could pull it off, especially since Vista failed hard for consumers and there is already another Windows OS planned for 2010 called WINDOWS 7.
