Default Sony's OS a bloated piece of crap?

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060413-6600.html

Just came across this, wondering how true it is... That's a hell of a lot of ram and resources for an OS. Something to do with their new DRM maybe?

Seems like the PS3 keeps getting delayed and downgraded. First it was what, 1000x the PS2(which would be like 6 teraFLOPS), then it was 1 teraFLOP, then the final spec was 256 gigaFLOPS, then it was lowered due to one SPE being chopped for yeilds, then lowered again because one SPE is always reserved for the OS, and now maybe a second SPE is reserved, and the RAM is basically lowered, because 64MB of system RAM and 32MB of graphics RAM is reserved for the OS... WTF?

Beginning to doubt Sony's hype about it being all powerful, sounds like a another case of the PS2 disease. Might just be a rumor though, so we'll see.
