Sony has confirmed that it has selected Linux running on Intel-based
hardware as the development platform it's PSX 2 games. Phil Harrison of Sony
said that they had selected Linux rather than Windows because developers
need "a stable platform". Hahaha. Sorry Billy! ;-) Read the entire article
at the link provided above. Thanks to Sean McFadden for the news.

I wonder if their development tools can be compiled to run on LinuxPPC
as well - that'd make a lot of developers happy too!
