I'd say the only downside of the Linux support kills it as a VDR platform. Graphic is NOT accelerated.
That's the only downside i'm aware of, and i can understand Sony a little in this point. Otherwise all game developers could just skip paying licensing royalties and just develop for Linux@PS3.
but why should this matter for multimedia (video) applications? ok, we (most likely) don't have hardware accelerated xvmc, but 6 vector cores to do it in software.
