Full windows operating system on ps3?

I know the psp never had the capacity to fully run an operating system such as windows xp or vista, however does anybody know if the ps3 has that capability? i think itll be kind of cool to be able to install a full working operating system and use all its features

Re: Full windows operating system on ps3?

It is possible to have a full install of Linux, I'm not sure whether the PS3 would be able to cope with Windows, although i don't see why not. Maybe it is not possible as you have to partition your drive, leaving only 10gb to install the OS onto.

Before Powerslave comes to spread the greater knowledge, PS3 is based around Power Personal Computer (PPC) architecture, and will run Unix based systems such as Linux. Windows is not based on this same system, and would essentially have to be rewritten from scratch.
However, Windows can be emulated with Linux, but runs horribly slowly on the Playstation 3.
Also!: use the search feature.
This has already been discussed.

I can't tell; are there specific instructions that new individuals follow when entering?
Actually, that couldn't work; they don't follow or read any directions given; it must be instinctive.

Re: Full windows operating system on ps3?

You can have Windows FULL on a ps3, by installin linux, and then booting windows via linux, and its happend before, but alot of errors including no sound, no internet access ect.

Re: Full windows operating system on ps3?

TinyXP is a better option for you, and is MUCH faster.  With the full windows install, you still get windows drivers, and other things you DON'T NEED.   TinyXP is everything you need, and everything you DO NOT need.   It's pretty nice.
