I just aim to get devs to properly investigate and evaluate the Cell, it's use is beyond just the PS3 though, I think it would be great if we would eventually see consumer targetted PC upgrade boards like we saw with 3DFX add-on graphics boards in the past.

My main interest in the PS3 is due to the Cell and not the other way around, although I do credit Sony for adding a Blu-Ray drive and making the console as reliable and highly specced as they did.

The thing which Microsoft brought to the industry was knowledge and willingness to help developers be more efficient

IMO they have only helped developers to become inefficient and more platform dependent. BeOS was a good effort towards more efficiency, sadly Microsoft used its monopoly to stop this effort.

This is what I call efficiency, the new AmigaOS 4.0 running on decades old Amigas even supporting ECS graphics from the 80s (oldskool assembler optimised in key core parts to provide a nice end user experience):

Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
