You can't do it...yet. Well at least not natively. The only way that I know of for running it is emulating it in Linux.

Which will run slow as ****, because it will not have near enough RAM etc. allocated to it.

You might get Windows 98 running okish on it but don't expect XP for a while (and then it will be a crack) and don't expect Vista ever.

Um, I don't think that you will ever see any version of Win on a PS3 without using some sort of emulation through Linux. This is simply due to the fact that the architecture is different.

Windows runs mainly on x86, whereas the PS3 is basically PowerPC.


Besides, why would someone want Windows on a PS3 anyway? I wouldn't like for my PS3 to be prone to viruses and crashes.


;)

Sort of. I suppose what really gets to me is that OS X just sort of....crashes...before you've saved your work, then taunts you about it. People joke about Windows doing that but it hasn't really since the days of Windows 98. OS X is just really unhelpful whereas Windows is geared towards helping you accomplish your goals, even if sometimes it can be a bit annoying in the way it does it... like that bastard paper clip.

That pretty much explains why I hate Macs.
