I think if Sony would have opened up the GPU to Linux, this situation wouldn't have happened. You could basically run whatever you wanted thru Linux. Hackers are trying to break into the PS3 to get access to the GPU and all cores. Unfortunately, it they succeed in opening it up, no matter how noble there cause is, the pirates come in and thats that. There could also be a simpler explanation for the removal of other OS, and that is Sony only makes money when games are bought, and the Air Force or Universities don't buy games for their PS3 clusters.

I think this is not right:
-IF PS3 were fully open to Linux, they should already start the homebrew ps3 revolution... and when they start hacking, result aren´t good, because not all hackers wants the same: just run linux.

-LINUX still available on latest firmware for "registered" companies or projects... AND who is running ps3 as cluster don´t need to update rom as normal gamers... the first firmware will do the job..

 

Soooo, this all is SONY strategy for keeping a path for hackers... they are doing something amazing (SONY)... let´s keep hackers trying to other OS... when they start sucseeding we take that out.. so... next step should be modding thru chip... they gain lie more 2 years before get the console hacked...  and it´s the most sucessfull type of hack... and if they didn´t had the option of other OS... they should find holes...

Smart move SONY.
