I'm guessing they used Wine. I know this program allows you to use Windows based prohgrams on Linux, so it's probably just a varient program.

If you actually read the article, you'll notice that it shows the XP startup screen, which would imply that they are using a PC emulator to run real XP software, whereas wine only emulates the Windows environment. Really, for XP to be usefull on the PS3, they have to, since noone compiles Windows software for the Cell Broadband Engine.

Yea, thats why I siad it was something like a varient of wine. I couldnt think of it, so I used wine as an idea ground since it emulates programs.

Ima have to see what it may be, so i'll post/edit later.

It's nothing like wine. Wine is a layer to make Windows apps work as part of X. What they are doing is like Virtual PC, which emulates the processor and BIOS.
