Hi all,
New version of ExaGear Desktop was launched!
ExaGear Desktop allows to run Intel x86 apps on Raspberry Pi. You can run Linux x86 apps as well as Windows one. Skype, Teamviewer, MS Word works pretty well.
New features:
Integration of host ARM and guest x86 systems was enhanced. Now shortcut of installed x86 app is automatically placed on Desktop/Start-Menu and you can run it directly from Desktop/Start-Menu just by clicking on it as the same way as native ARM app.
New Raspbian released Sep 24 based on Debian 8 "Jessie" is supported.
Support for Ubuntu 15.04 and Debian 8 was added. Corresponding guest images is also available.
Performance enhancement. Google Chrome launch was speeded up twice!
Also here is useful instruction how to run Skype on rpi2.

Hi all,
Anyone know if you can run VM over android. I heard somewhere that it will be soon possible to run VMwhare over android.
Regards,
Bastospn
do you mean the VMWare client, right?
Yes. I know that for a 512 MB it could be a bit odd, but in theory it should be possible.
They are working on a remote client that can run on android, but if you are dreaming about a working virtual machine that can run over an arm processor, keep dreaming

I don't see way not. I know for most people VMs are just for big servers but it could make sense in mobile world too.

Years ago I have seen a x86 virtual machine written entirely in java running windos xp on a nikia comunicator: the only drawback is performance that was stated to be 30% of processor power available to the guest operating system ( keep in mind what is the speed of a cellphone processor). This makes it theoretically possible, but on the other side you have to increase system resources in order to run an extra os environment that can be usable, and more resources mean higher price
About your link lg is only working to create an android virtual machine in order to have an isolated enterprise environment on the phone, and not a fully working virtual machine host for others OSes

As soon as consumer preview came out the CPU requirement jumped to needing PAE, is there a way around this, i have a laptop that passes all the other requirements?
I'm sorry, PAE?

Workaround
If your CPU doesn't support Physical Address Extension you can find a workaround here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/your-pcs-cpu-isnt-compatible-with-windows-8
But if this isn't working you won't be able to install Windows 8 and I wouldn't try it because these will be against the security features in Windows 8.

in virtualbox, i installed windows 8 release preview with PAE enabled, then disabled PAE and it still works. my guess is that the installer only does a check for cpu compatibility. I'm thinking that imaging a machine with PAE and then loading the image on your non-PAE machine with something like g4u might get you around the requirement. I'd reccommend just creating a VM on a machine with PAE and then copying the vhd over but my guess is that your pc, if predates PAE, doesnt have the required horsepower to be a virtual host for another OS...
Maybe it will soon be possible to run android and windows nt nativly at the same time on the Transformer !
how? - ReactOS:
http://www.reactos.org/ (if you are going to test it in a virtual machine dont' use the 0.3.14 version of os, use the trunk build version its much much much better)
ReactOS is an open source windows clone and most of the windows applications work on it ! (MS office, opera, ff, ...) the good news is there is an ARM port of ReactOS - Windows RT equivalent:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ARM_Port
ReactOS still has problems to work on real hardware because of many different components but on some PC it works very well (it can be targeted to work on a platform and fix the bugs)
The ARM port is able to run on the transformer but there is still a lot of work to do.
Windows will soon release a Office ARM version for winRT and in order to run any windows application on the transformer a recompile is needed.
and about android there is already a port of android that runs native on windowsne emulation no virtual machine !!)

If anyone has any coding skills it would be nice to try to port reactos to the transformer or just to donate to the project with the subject "arm port for transformer"
cool, thanks for sharing Cruonit
What the different between windows 8.1 pro and Windows 8.1 RT?
8.1 Pro runs on Intel and hence can run desktop apps. 8.1 RT runs on Arm and cannot run desktop apps.

"Cannot run desktop apps" is both inaccurate and misleading.
Inaccurate because all the built-in desktop stuff (Office, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Notepad, Registry Editor, Task Manager, Powershell, and tons more) not only run on RT, you can even run them as Admin. However, you cannot run *third-party* desktop apps - stuff like Photoshop, or Steam, or Firefox, or Skyrim - because they are only available for x86/x64 Windows, not for ARM, and also because they don't have Microsoft signatures. Older versions of RT can be "jailbroken" which allows installing and running some third-party software that was ported to ARM - open-source stuff like Notepad++, DOSBox, 7-Zip, and Miranda IM mostly - but there's no jailbreak published for 8.1 yet.
Misleading because it implies that the *only* difference is in the (in)ability to run desktop apps. However, some Store apps also may not work on RT, if they use native code and were compiled only for x86 and/or x64. For example, VLC is not (yet) available in the store for RT, although there's a test version of it for x86.
RT can also only be installed on specific hardware that is intended to run it. You cannot, for example, just take an Android tablet and install RT on it instead, the way you could take a Mac and install Windows on it instead.
Thanks for the complete and accurate answer. I should have been more clear and said "only store" apps. BTW, I didn't realize that some store apps may not work on RT.

The operating system is Mac OS X, I want to increase the limit of 128mb of graphics memory, because I place an Nvidia GTX 760. How do I to increase graphics memory? I have to work on Mac OS X these days on iMovie / GarageBand etc. gives me an error about "Quartz Extreme required". I have a PC assembled around € 2,000. Help Me! My operating system with VMware is Windows 7.
This is not a VMware forum (or an OS X forum, or even a Win7 forum, for that matter). It has nothing to do with mobile operating systems, developing for mobile, or hacking on mobile. The VMware forums are over there.
Did it even occur to you to search "VMware Forum" before posting your question on a *COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT* forum instead?

You might be missing a basic concept. The video card in your virtual machine is virtualized like most of the hardware. This means that the virtual machine does not actually get to see the graphics adapter. Instead of your Nvidia card, the virtual hardware that is presented to your Windows guest is software emulating hardware.
The driver that is being used there is the VMware VGA driver and lots of the heavy lifting is done by the CPU instead of the GPU. The only operating system that can control your graphics adapter is the host OS, there cannot be 2 operating systems that control the same adapter, PC hardware simply is not designed to work like that.
You can't run osx applications that require the graphic card on osx inside vmware workstation or virtualbox, because the drivers for Quartz Extreme and Core Boot are not available. You could buy a second hand mac mini, macbook pro, imac, or whatever, or even buy a new hackintosh from ebay that guarantee you that will work. It can be a desktop or notebook, where you can run linux, macos and windows 7/10 and so on.
