You know what would rock?  Amiga OS on a Playstation 3!
Think of the advantages.
     -low cost hardware
     -one of the most advanced cpu's on the planet
     -everywhere
     -no other general purpose OS on this platform
     -could be done as a Sony licensee
     -fixed hardware requiring no mucking about with different chip versions

The Amiga was always about 2 things, hardware that blew everything else out of the water (circa 1985) and an OS that just made sense.  Well, we can have the first again with the PS3, and the second would just require porting.
(Admittedly that could be an expensive difficult undertaking) :banana:
