If you end up burning it, post a link here.
You have to burn the serial number too, just the disc doesn't count.

Hypothesizing:
Part of Carmack's interest could be placed in that the Playstation series is using a lot of linux compatible technology, is much more efficient at what it does, and has USB ports on there, so attaching a USB kayboard and mouse would work.
Microsoft on the other hand... well, it is USB compatible last I checked...
That's not to say that someone else won't port it, and he may not have interest, but he may end up doing it to keep the community happy. It's hard to say if there'll be a linux version until it's actually out, or mostly done *COUGH* *COUGH* EPIC *COUGH*. Blizzard started with a Linux version of WoW before it landed on the chopping block.
... why are we talking about this in the UT3 thread? There's a John Carmack thread close by where this is better disussed.

It's because of things like the piracy of LGP titles (I'm dead serious about this...).
It's because of all the pedantic whining about "paying more for 'old' titles".
It's because of WINE "being good enough".
The industry's been watching what we're doing and all that crap is COSTING US.
