You can't run windows protocols on a ppu based unit!!!! IMACS can't run windows!!!! You can emulate Windows with wine using linux.....ignorance stinks....don't talk if you don't know...

the question is why would you want to? have a desire for constant crashes, and a severe drain on system resources? if you want an OS, use Linux, the only reason in the world right now not to use Linux on anything is software support, which isnt an issue on the ps3, other than that, Linux is leaps and bounds better than windows

you can emulate XP w/ linux running on a PS3, some guy did it. But it's really slow. Too slow to be functional.

That would be cool if you could load XP. I'm sure someone will figure it out.

Yes it's true that you can run XP on the PS3 through linux, but I don't reccomeneded beacuse it's very sloooooooooooooooooooooooow, it takes like 15 minutes to start xp.

I leave a link to see how long does this take
