Can I install windows on to a PS3?

[Internet Badass]

Hi, I recently acquired a PS3 from a friend at no cost. I am wondering if I can install windows 7 or xp or vista on it, because it has some pretty good specs...And yes I know about yellowdog linux, dont have to tell me.

Doesn't the PS3 have a RISC processor? My money's on no, you can't.

probably not... I might have to figure that out.

The solutions in the first few links all use a Virtual Machine in linux, which isn't installing Windows on a PS3.

I'm pretty sure that the PS3 released a firmware update recently that put an end to installing Linux on the unit.

Unless somebody found away around it.
