Don't get your hopes up too high just yet. Apparently Sony are only giving access to a virtual machine, *not* the raw hardware, so you don't have access to any of the DVD decoding firmware, etc :(. Still, it's definitely a step in the right direction (even though the development of the OS appears to be exclusively by Sony). http://xbox-linux.org also looks interesting.
