> don't assume it will work or will stick around forever.

I agree with the first part, but no with the second. I don't like manufacturers deliberately breaking products which have already been sold, especially in cases when the sale wouldn't have happened if the product weren't better than specified.

Today it's Intel removing not advertised features, tomorrow it'll be Sony removing advertised ones (or had they already done that?)

Are you referencing the PS3 forcing the option to either keep the ability to run linux or stay on the PSN, or was there something else?

Yes, I meant Linux on PS3.
