Oh my, I do believe this is the first time in history we've seen Sony hardware running MS software.

There are these things called Personal Computers...

Actually, I remain convinced MS only build HW as a platform for their OS and standards and would probably prefer if Sony (and Nintendo) would agree to put MS OS and standards on their consoles.  Or maybe I just love the idea of the meltdowns that would result from a Sony/MS collaboration around HW/SW and the combination of their various franchises.  It would be priceless!
