And OtherOS was removed because Geohot said there was an exploit using OtherOS.
EDIT: Typo.
Geohot was a scapegoat. Sony was looking for a excuse to remove Otheros then one day geo showed up claiming he found a exploit i mean since when have Sony ever acted on rumors. (that's what it was at the time)Law said:Guild McCommunist said:Nathan-NL said:The PS3 hackings started when Sony removed OtherOS, this pissed of the hackers and they wanted Linux back.

I don't know if you're being serious or what but there were plans to remove OtherOS before the exploit was found.
The slim came out before the exploit, right?
I agree that geohot was a scapegoat, but Sony removed OtherOS months before geohot made his announcement.ctr3k said:Geohot was a scapegoat.
