Video: Windows Vista running on the PS3, slowly

You can now run Windows Vista on the PS3. More accurately, you can emulate Windows Vista on the PS3; “now” is also somewhat inaccurate, as the emulation is so slow it takes some 25 minutes for the operating system to boot up.

It works by running Qemu on Linux on the PS3, then running Vista in Qemu. The whole process takes about a day to get up and running.

Reminds me of kids trying to get Windows to run on Xbox1 using Bochs.

Ok, so we have windows running. Lets get xp on there since its so much faster and more popular. That way It might be fast enough to be usable.
