Hi..
I just want to ask that there's a toolbox for loading Linux in android,we can port Ubuntu in hd 2 but why we can't port windows XP in HD 2, it is completing its requirements of 400 MHz processor and 64 MB of ram. Bt HD 2 have 1 gigahertz processor and 448 MB of ram then why it is not possible.....???
Is there any project on XP for HD 2.
This is not possible! You must read about architecture of processor. In HD2 is ARM. Windows XP does not support this type of processor. It was not until Windows 8 is to have support for the ARM architecture.
Read about: ARM, CISC RISC, IA-32, ISA. Then you understand this.
WHY U WANTS XP ON HD2??
THERE ARE ALREADY MANY GR8 OS ARE AVAILABLE FOR HD2....

Boy, XP is too a great operating system and much better then Ubuntu
agreed, but xp for a mobile.. i dont see it going very good.. mobile os and computer os should be seperate.. its fun to innovate then..

can MAGLDR used to boot windows 98 or xp? it will be nice if a developer tries to port these on HD2,
Just Imagine......
Do you have windows xp/98 for ARM?
ARM processors, by definition, can only operate Linux distros (or any Linux-based OSs, coming to think about it).

This version of Windows is probably the only one designed for ARM processors.
BTW, check this out: http://www.osnews.com/story/21419/Windows_on_ARM_Not_Likely/
This is an old article and as far as I know, there`s no Windows 7 running on ARM procs, so...

This is simple ans answered many times already
Android has been ported to x86
Windows does not run on arm. Simple easy

erica_renee is correct: Android is available for x86 architechture and has been available for a while now and thus it's no wonder the W500 can run it.
You can also run Android apps on any Windows PC using Bluestacks.

Has there been any news if apps written for Windows Phone 7 will be able to run on Windows 8 when it is released? If not what would it be because of the x86 architecture or for some other reason?

not to my knowledge.. as of yet defo x86 apps wont work even on an arm build of windows 8... what will happen is apps will be developed for both platforms according to the reason why the metro interface is a big thing.. just means the apps will have to be scaled down resolution and min requirements etc...
First of all, if there's already a thread about this, sorry I didn't see it but I searched.
My question is will there be a way to dual boot Windows 8 and ICS (or whatever Android we have during Win 8 tablet releases)? I've seen all the dual boot tablets introduced at Computex and INSTANTLY fell in love with the idea of having both the OS'es at my fingertips, but at the same time I know the official solutions will be unnecessarily expensive.
I was wondering if it's theoretically possible to buy a dedicated Windows 8 tablet, not the RT version, and eventually mod it to run Android. This will make my fall purchase of a tablet so much easier.
Not possible if the tablet has windows 8 ARM installed
If a tablet comes with Windows 8 ARM Preinstalled, you basically can't dual boot ICS on it. Why? Because Windows 8 for ARM requires the tablet manufacturer to enable secure boot on those devices. Thus, enabling secure boot won't let you dual boot Win8 and Android on it. Microsoft is very clever, they do really start to block linux and lock the tablets to Windows 8 ARM only.

Yea I know you can't do it with the ARM tablets, that's the windows rt version. I was asking towards the other regular Windows 8 tablets. Can you dual boot ICS on those?

Ohh... If a tablet comes with an Intel or AMD processor inside and not ARM, then this will be possible. You can dualboot Win8 and ICS on it

Cool, is this already being done? Can you link if possible? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. This just made my tablet shopping a lot easier for the fall.
Android is Open Source and Windows 8 is commercial so.............

Yes, you can run Android on x86, but many of the native apps won't work as they're made for arm processors. Take a look here: http://www.android-x86.org/
intel is putting its medfield CPUs, which are x86 atom-based SoCs, into android smartphones right now. Expect to see the same chips in W8 tablets. with that said, it should be fairly likely to see a dualbooting tablet.
also, i'd like to point you towards the Asus Tranformer AiO, shown off at Computex.

It's already been done on some PCs, Laptops, and including a windows tablet. Check it out here
Take note that this is only Android-x86. A ported version of android for x86 devices
You can find the Android-x86 project here
Here's what a tablet with Windows 8 RT inside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5Xh_1U35s
Would it be possible to run x86 windows 8 on the new medfield phones like the Orange San Diego and the Lava Xolo?
It would be interesting to run the metro ui on the smartphone itself but it will get better if you just hook up your phone to a monitor/laptop dock and enjoy a windows desktop experience (like the motorola atrix and this).
I have always been a fan of the OQO UMPC and this would be the modern version of that.
thank you
I have dual boot on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which has a x86 Intel processor) with Windows 8 Release Preview and Android ICS.
First I installed Win8 using a boot stick which you can create using this tool and the cd image you downloaded. Then I shrinked the size of the Windows partition to free up some space for Android.
Then I used the latest Atom image from Android x86 to install Android from another boot stick using this tool.
When installing Android don't forget to install GRUB boot loader.
Once you done that you can choose which OS to boot every time you start the device. Unfortunately it doesn't work using touch. You have to have a USB keyboard attached to choose the entry that is not default (in this case Windows 8).

I think running Win8 on a Phone with a x86 cpu like the medfield atoms from intel is possible, but you can't run metro apps on the phone's screen itself because the phone only has a resolution of 1024x600. Metro apps requires 1024x768 in order to run and in order to use "snap", a resolution of 1366x768 is required. So I think you need to hook up a mouse and a keyboard on the phone in order to enjoy the new metro feature of Windows 8 on a phone hooked up to your HDTV

Uhh no. Galaxy Tab 10.1s use the ARM nVidia Tegra 2 SOC and are pre loaded with android honeycomb unless you have a unique version that no one else in the world does and no one has heard about.

Hey there's no Galaxy Tab with a x86 processor (Intel or AMD). If there's a samsung tab with a x86 cpu on it, then it's not on the galaxy series.

Anyway, the method above should work with any device running an Intel processor.
@OP, Seeing as Asus has a Transformer AiO that does exactly what you said, then yes its possible

I think can because my computer (1.5 GB ram ) can run windows 8.1 smootly
see

No because its not free and would be warez
8.1 is a free upgrade if you have windows 8 - just open the windows store to download it
it wil run smoothly bro...as i also used win 8 in my PC with only 1GB ram..but i installed 32-bit...may b 64-bit also wil run
@san122
I have intalled Windows 8.1 Enterprise x86 (i.e. 32bit) Genuine Licence (I regret to buy it, it is worst OS I have ever seen, Long live Windows 7) on Virtualbox with 1GiB RAM (1GiB for Win8 and 3GiB for host Win7, Total=4GiB). I don't have Graphics Card, I have integrated 1GiB Intel Graphics. No problems, runs smooth.
But I still advice you to stay on Windows 7, some programmes and games are allergic to Win8

Better you install Windows 8.1 cause the improvement of Windows 8.1 is more great then Windows 8. And Windows 8.1 support more apps at Windows Store. Thats my experience

Yes its better. But you should also check for driver support from your PC manufacturer. My laptop doesn't have drivers for many features on Windows 8.1 yet, so still stuck with 8.
I think windows7 would be good for me as iam having problems with display drivers in windows 8
I have no game in my pc.Just Notepad++ and JRE .
Anything to boost it?

well if you need more ram and a graphics card it depends if its a pc or laptop and the slot types available
ram costs about £20-£40 per 2gb depending on type
for a standard run of the mill graphics card that could play games on very low/low settings you are looking at around £40 up to £80
now bear in mind you could buy a new laptop with an i3 processor 4gb of ram and an intel hd graphics card for around £350 and i5 starts at around £450 some with nvida cards and you can get a top range i7 with 8gig ram and 1 or 2gb dedicated nvida grahpics laptop for £800
you gotta think is it worth upgrading what I have or putting it towards something new thats more future proof
