Hmmm... As soon as I read this article:
Sony to disable PlayStation 3 operating system feature
I thought I'd come here and see what you guys though. Maybe you haven't heard yet, but coming April 1st, The PS3 is to lose another of its core launch features - the ability to install a 3rd party OS.
I don't know whether you do, or you don't use this feature. I don't at present, but I was going to use it once I upgraded my HDD, I guess I'll never get a chance to use it at all now... Thanks Sony!
Sony have apparently decided to remove this feature in response to the hacking exploits of Geohot, who had found a way to hack into the PS3.
What do you guys think of this?

Other features the PS3 has lost over time:
PS2 emulation. First in hardware, then in software.
SACD support
Flash card reader
2 usb ports
Now, 3rd party OS install
EDIT: Any chance a mod can move this to the PS3 forum, I must of clicked the wrong link!
