They couldn’t lock Linux out of the Wii, PS3 or Xbox360. What makes them think that they can do any better when they dont control the hardware.

It will also bring a whole new round of anti-trust lawsuits.

Why can’t linux work in this environment? Doesn’t this protect against root kits and such? Isn’t this a good thing? Or is it a bunch of pain with no upside?
