I like the design (and am a Mac owner if that matters).

I think Sony just has to get rid of Vista (run a custom version of Linux somehow..) to make that PC perfect.

Sony has done some interesting job in the hardware deparment but has never been big on software (for editing video etc. but also in OS terms).

In my opinion Sony should think about the "reverse pattern" of Apple. Apple has had OSX for a while and now they are implementing it in every device they make. Sony should do the opposite: take the good from PS3, PSP, SonyEricssons, Camcorders, Cameras and create a full fledged OS for their Vaio series.

Today, with Mac sales increasing, Windows is no longer the paradigm of OSs. As long as they grant compatibility (this, unfortunately is not Sony's motto) with other OSs we would see an intersting development.

Just my take

There will be a LOT of patent issues if Sony will try and do that. It will be like trying to invent something to put underneath a car but it can't be round, or from rubber. There is a reason why only Microsoft and Apple are selling OS's. They have been in the market for 25 years, that's going to be very hard getting in there. It also shows how much appreciation I have for the Linux community.

On the other hand, you can equip your PS3 with Yellow Dog Linux. This was intended to be distributed with PS3 but wasn't at the last minute, you can still get it for free though (I think). I bet Yellow dog has had some money from Sony's side.
