I don't think that Windows will EVER be on a sony product. Just think about it: Sony has the ps2 and soon the ps3, they are COMPETING with Microsoft's Xbox and soon Xbox 360. You dont usually see two rivals helping eachother out do you?

i did have xp on a p2 200mhz, IT SUXED ASS.

windows 98 was much more stable in its time, than xp is now...

putting xp on my old machine revealed just how much of a memory hog xp was...

xp, hell windows, is only popular because it runs nearly all problems, linux and mac cant compete...

used liux once it was beautiful, but i couldnt actually run any of my pc games on it (ze onli downside)
