I would love to see Android run on my BA
Have a look here for a video demo http://friends.e2b.org/Noel/blog/61/
Lets wait and see if it will ever work on it.
I dont like it, it looks too much like MAC and I hate MAC's

I do not use a MAC, never have, and will not in any near future, but why do you hate MAC's?
And yes.. It's a a bit off topic..
PS. Never say never :-/
Well I rly dont like MAC interface and the system look is too much eye-candy :/

I see.. Now lets really hope that you will never use Vista than.
Ill use it when sp2 or sp3 will come or when newest programs wich I would like to use would only run on Vista. Ehhh why halo 2 is for Vista ((( I dont want Vista yet

Last thing I say about this off topic here.
Vista is even more eye-candy, so your theory about MAC and it being "too much eye-candy" does not really stand!
OT: Vista, Halo 2, forced 'upgrades'

Why is it for vista only? Because Microsoft wants you to buy their software, and if they can make it so the stuff you want to use is vista only, all the better for them.
As for Halo 2, there are ways to make it run under XP, and I can vouch for the fact that they do work.
How to do it is an exercise for the reader.
And don't hate an environment/OS unless you have actually used it, otherwise you come across as another of the drooling fanboys.
I've used both and I get more work done on a Mac than I do on Windows.
I worked for about year on MACs when I was in school when I wanted to get a techinc status. Their interface does not suit me, I always found it horrible somehow please dont hate me for that

But how long ago was that? OS 10 has about as much in common with os 7/8/9 as XP has in common with WfW 3.11
Regardless, I was using 7/8/9 as well and did get more work done.
If the UI is not something you like, then you don't like it, no problems there. I'm not going to try to convert anyone (I use XP, OS 10, and Linux), nor am I going to hate anyone over it.
However, I do find your reasoning (too much eye candy) flawed considering vista tries to outdo Apple on the eye candy thing.
Oh, BTW, it's typed Mac. When you do the MAC thing, I immediately think Media Access Control address.

the reason i left symbian devices (and never tried out iphone, android devices or even the new emerging maemo devices) is the customization and the functionality of windows mobile...
i mean not just putting widgets on homescreen or having 5 homescreen pages which look the same, but more of completely changing the way ur device looks... Take for example wm6.5 homescreen, replace it with touchflo/manila/new sense and u got somethin totally new... Or the addition of spb mobile shell, the new soon to come touchXperience and the already in beta stage infinity UI, that is what I call full functional customization. And if MS win phone 7 is goin to take away that functionality, then its like takin one step forward and 2 steps back.
that being said, it is still not fully confirmed but if MS is taking away that functionality, can we still have hope for some kind of emulator... u know kinda like win xp mode that win 7 brought to us
only instead of win xp (or maybe even win xp ) we can have maybe wm 6.6 (if its gonna come out or perhaps the latest of wm6.5 (6.5.x)

great now its possible to make games like this
with windows phone 7 games like resident evil,call of duty, or even halo will be easier to make I hope. This screen shot of halo in touchpro2 and I feel windows mobile7 will feature even better graphics
I finally managed to install it. Tried out the sample applications. Tried out creating a new Silverlight project. Standard application and then the dialog within studio can't be displayed, some exception but no clue what's wrong, I didn't change anything either. Strange thing is I can still build and run it. The list application is working in designer however when I was running it the crap was crashing when moving around from one page to another too quick or whatever the matter. Secure programming I see it!
Ok, now DreamForceTeam launched Windows Mobile 6.1 on Windows Phone 7 (HTC 7 Pro) and showed that on the movie (what is next ?):
Now this shows how terrible windows mobile was. I would do this on my trophy, but seeing how putting a laggy os on a phone designed for wp7 is so pointless, I'd rather put windows phone (hopefully tango) on wm devices.
Yessss, with this we may have the chance of using FpseCE on WP7!
Agree

Very well said, couldn't agree more. The fact you can do something doesn't mean you should. I was a WM 6.5 fan but would NEVER go back to that after over a year with the constantly improving WP7.

You know...the video shows pretty good performance over all on it. Yea, 6.1 was a dog but, There is still a hanful of apps I would use on it that there is no WP7 app for.
If this was downloadable, I would download it to try it. It would be nice to bring back some App memories...
Is this only on a custom rom ?
That's sort of nostalgic. But like I'd never put Windows 95 on my current computers, I would also never go back to the Windows Mobile days. Sick of constant lock ups, bad memory management, overall laggy behaviour and such. If I wanted to use Windows Mobile again, I'd rather buy an HD2 from craigslist or eBay than flash it on my WP device.
If we could use equalizers and audio effects, I would love to see dual boot.

Did you even watch the video ? He was running ON TOP of WP7, at one point in the video he hit back and it jumped back to WP7.
If it's like shown, an emulator, I'm great with it, if I have to flash my device, screw it, dont want it.
If I can dump 6.1 on my WP7 device to run when I want to, it opens a whole world of 10+ years of Apps that will run on it (and there is a lot more of 6.0+ apps than there is WP7 apps)
I would want to dowload it and install cabs to it, if I can't do that, then I have no needs for it.
I would much rather use an emulator on my phone than waste $150-200 on a HD2 that ran Windows Mobile 6.5 anyway.

I do miss the equalizers I had loaded on WM 6.X. I miss them a great deal. It is the one thing I am still waiting for in WP7. I have found replacements for most all of the other apps I used on WM over the last few months.

I gotta admit that I didn't watch the video. I just assumed it was the one I found over at Twitter last night where a modified bootloader was shown that started WM on a WP device. An emulator would certainly be nice to play with. But I don't see me using it for more than just bringing back some nostalgic thoughts.
I dont see the reason for the hate....it may not make sense to run win95 on currrent hardware but u cant apply the same logic when wp7 is missing features/apps wm had.

I wouldn't call it hate. Lack of comprehension maybe. If I felt Windows Phone was missing features and/or apps I was really dependent on, I simply hadn't bought into it.

It would rock to have Garmin Mobile XT up and running via this loader on WP7. I'm still running WM6.5 because of this software.
This will prove very useful for running emulators, flash, and legacy apps. Don't dis it. It's an app, not a flashed os. I'm wondering, though, if they could use any of the code from this to develop an android emulator. I mean, my windows phone rocks, but extra compatibility is always welcome. Keep it up DFT
i would use just to trick people into thinking i flashed it onto my focus

Just think. if you can run Windows 95 on a phone you can play Doom.... 1 or 2
Well if you have a keyboard...
Hey,
I just installed the Consumer Preview, and I think we can find hints to WP8 in it.
For example, various hubs found on WP are in W8. An interesting one is the Messaging hub, which like on WP allow you to chat with your Facebook and Messenger contacts, I think the next logical step is SMS syncing.
Another thing I noticed is that Zune and Windows Media Player is completely missing. There's a seperate music and video player.
Also, when I plug in my HTC HD7 nothing happens. It doesn't say installing drivers, Phone found, .. nothing.
There are also a lot of mentions of syncing throughout the OS, syncing with other devices and users. I think this will eventually mean that alle info from your Phone can be seamlessly synced to your PC and vice versa, making things a whole lot easier when you buy a new phone. Just plug in, sync and go.
There are tons of similarities too.
Multitasking is much the same, you also get a small preview window of the app.
What did you find?
I pary every day that they change their minds and not release it for laptops or PC's. It's greate for touch screens and pads though but just doesn't feel the same on non touch devices; MS will be making a big mistake if they go through with making people use a mouse and keyboard on theire PC's and non touch screen laptops.
Im using it with a mouse, and it's just fine, I dont find it hard or unnatural to use.
Some ideas are brilliant and very innovative, like metro style switching between apps, screens etc.
But at the same time it's like a double OS what is just nonsense. Two different IE10? Idiotic. No background image under tiles? Tacky.
I think they have to unite it somehow, it's still looks like a half baked beta. I won't install this stuff on my PC.
I seriously have no idea what drives these guys, but it all looks like a half way through.

Why?? I'm perfectly happy on Windows 7 64bit!
Super stable, nice looking, great features.
And a great environment for proffessional work, in my case music. Apps I use work great.
As I said, I wish Windows 8 beeing united without loosing current usability and ADDING some great 8's features.
They just want to push some stuff too much.
BTW, I seriously don't like Apple stuff at all.

they did that because some people would complain about being forced into metro, which isn't the case. But I guess either way they get complaints.
From what I have heard or have been hearing, Windows 8 sounds amazing. can't wait to get it.

Well Zune was never preinstalled and when I connect my WP7 to a Windows 7 PC without Zune, it doesn't do anything either.
Windows Media Player is still there but it is just the desktop app.

I tried Windows 8. It's not very good at all as a computer OS. I'm a power user, and I was totally lost. I can only imagine how confused your average Joe will be.
Sent from my SGH-I897
You were lost because you hadn't worked with it. Same as if you picked up an ipad for the 1st time, a phone with a different O/S, ect. It took me about 8 hours to get the gist of the flow. Once i did though, man it's fast. I wish though the ep121 tablet i have had the resolution for snap though. That's a little dissapointing. Other than that, it's fast and smooth and actually now i wish the desktop was gone completely and everything metro.
Also anyone else have any issues with the USA today app? Seems to crash on and off on me. Other than that everything seems very stable and i LOVE the onscreen keyboard. Nothing like the crap that i had to use with Windows 7 on the tablet.
Great news

Just read comprehensive review of current Win8.
Must say: MICROSOFT WAKE UP!
Windows 8 is the most unintuitive crap I've seen.
Layers instead of logic.
Just hope it's just another beta and some sensible people will take care of this idiocy.
As I said before, improvements have to have sense.
Why the f... they even removed the Win key.
And yes, average Joe will have no freaking idea what is this.
Any reason this is not in the Windows 8 section?

He attempts to compare it with WinPhone, but Windows 8 is a entirely different beast. It offers a ton of information with natural movements to get things done.
Thats windows x86 btw.

As far as i know its impossible to run win 7, but you can run win xp or 95 or 93 on it but it will be super laggy and also awkward.
But if you talking about running windows app on android, wine team is working on it (idk if they still working on it or abandoned it).
Just a theory if you can chmod linux on your tablet and you should be able to get wine working and you can run win apps with it...

Hi Jacker31, & gjost_j
It is posible to do virtual xp and previous. Seach the forum for "Bosh".
It was compiled a few years ago for all arm base devices. But at tha time ther were no x86!
Itry to compile it but could not got over some errors.
So yes if we could find a good sourse we may give it a try!
Look
Using remote desktop (i.e. Teamviewer or Splashtop) is a much better solution than actually installing Windows.
@r2d23cpo
This remind me this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUE-gJmcGKk few years back then. Trust me, Its not worth it to try *I tried before and it lags like hell*

I never said it is worth it. How to run Windows on android ? thats the title.
Still I will like to have it handy. You never know of a real need that may make it give you go into this trouble. Please keep in mind that all those programs where made available only for ARM! And you will will find lots of info, none for x86 tablet.
Now I do can run Ubuntu in VNC mode, it lags but work. In fact I have it handy with Open Office. It is my main project to try run Ubuntu Natively. But I have post pone all projects due to health issues.

have enough ram available for a semi-decent run.
