did you read that thread? not windows mobile 7!, that's an x86 Windows 7 meant to run on the pc!
you're gonna need at least a phone with the snapdragon processor that runs on 1ghz of speed to even get it running first as an emulator.

Really??? Are you sure? It's not a joke or a fake? Soooo
The Diamond has a fast CPU: the Qualcomm MSM7201A running at 528MHz
Minimum hardware requirements for Windows Phone 7 :
The minimum requirements for the CPU are 1GHz ... AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!
Is Windows Phone 7 really for phones ?
Even if a port will be made for our Diamond, it will be very slow.

I am not sure about that.
They're saying that it works faster than 6.5
Also, Microsoft requires that 1 Ghz processor so they're sure that there won't be people saying: 'it's laggy'.
Also, in that way they're sure that their software is only running on hardware that's more than enough so they won't be blamed for a laggy OS.
any idea when it would be out in the market?
and that processor requirement is a real setback for me
First phones are planned for October so dont expect it any time soon.

x86 architecture

Did anybody think about that WP7 phones may be on x86 processors? (atom, etc)
if my phone supported x86 i would definately not install wp7 in my phone.

Unlikely, maybe on a netbook or tablet, but not on a smartphone. ARM cores are leaps and bounds ahead in terms of bang for your watt.
Most likely Microsoft released the WP7 emulator on x86 because it runs faster ;P
Most likely not.
They probably released it this way to limit the possible use of the ROM.

Because it's hardware accelerated to give you the speed you would have on a real phone.

Considering that the minimum requirements for a WP7S phone say that a device must have an ARM Cortex A8 processor, a Scorpion CPU, or better (http://www.techautos.com/2010/03/17/windows-phone-7-series-hardware-requirements/), we're pretty sure WP7S isn't for x86.
It's based on CE 6R3 so in theory yes, but you will have to port the drivers and other system files that are cortex specific.
I heard intel is making x86 mobile processors. Maybe there will be version for those.

You can order already a phone with windows xp and the Intel x86-Moorestown Prozessor will be used by LG this Year for its phone so maybe for the advanced User Windows 7 with all its Software will be avaiable soon on the Phone .
Running windows 7 phone OS on a atom based tablet ( viliv etc) would be great. I think full windows 7 is not very user friendly because of the tiny menus etc.

[Q] One X and Windows 8

Considering the CPU architecture (Tecra 3) would it be possible to get a port of Windows 8 running on it?

I guess it would technically be possible to run Windows 8 (ARM) on it.
Assuming you mean Windows 8 OS and not Windows phone 8, It would be very unlikely as there are too many factors as to why this would not work. For starters the windows 8 kernel would need to be heavily modified in order to work on the HOX architecture, also which windows os relays on stock driver support in order for it to function so someone would also need to write drivers for the hardware support too.
It would be more likely possible to port Windows phone 8 since it is designed for phones in mind from the get go. Windows phone 8 is a heavily modified version of the windows 8 OS.

Short answer No. Unlike Android Microsoft is not open source also you won't get source codes or Kernel sources etc. for the Devs to build one.
Well... although it's highly unlikely if Windows 8 is released and Tegra 3 is still the flagship CPU from NVIDIA the possibility of a port may increase slightly (Only if a Tegra 3 powered Win8 tablet is produced)
May be chances are higher side.

And probably illegal?
Guys, both Windows Mobile 8 and Windows RT (8) will be available for ARM processors, it's more a case of porting drivers than modifying the kernel. Of course we would need to develop a new bootloader to feed Windows 8 (mobile or not) device information the way it wants it.

S-OFF would no doubt help make the solution more elegant, but it is certainly not necessary.

That is good to hear well either way you would need to have a windows 8 serial and that means buying it, these forums don't support that sort of stuff.

Windows 10 on tab s 10.5 wifi posebile or not

Microsoft anounced that windows 10 will support tablets including android tablets have it from an pcwelt video german
comlete feature list windows 10
http://www.pcwelt.de/ratgeber/Windo...Windows-10-Funktionen-Windows-10-9602942.html
you think it woud be posebile to install it in the tab s
dual boot woud be the best 1 android and 1 windows
As of right now not possible, but never say never!
No. Microsoft has ceased all development on the ARM version of windows, aka Windows RT. The new Windows 10 will only run on x86 hardware, which means you will need an android tablet with a Intel processor to install Windows 10. The Galaxy Tab S uses an ARM processor, hence it is not compatible.

This is not correct I am afraid. They made windows 10 running on Xiaomi MI4. The phone has Snapdragon 801 ARM proc. See the link below..

Wow are you retarded? (No offense ) Windows 10 is the same across all platforms and no that is not Windows Phone on Mi4 it is Windows 10 running on it. Windows 10 is also coming to Raspberry Pi 2 which is running an ARM Processor too. Microsoft want's to make a Windows 10 ROM to get more people on it. So yes it is possible to be running on the Tab S but I'm unsure about Samsung's Exynos.

According to PC msg we are both retards.
http://asia.pcmag.com/microsoft-sur...indows-rt-is-dead-but-microsoft-hasnt-learned
According to the article there are two versions of Windows 10. The first one is the normal desktop Windows, which is direct successor of the (/sarcasm) beloved Windows 8 (/endsarcasm). The second version is a mobile version that runs on both x86 and ARM, but presumably has a smaller footprint and optimised for touch screen control. In order words, it is Windows Phone in all but name.
Running x86 software on ARM isn't impossible, but incredible costly. The ARM processor would have to emulate the x86 hardware, and all hardware emulations are expensive (in terms of processing power and not money). Anyone who had ever used the android emulator that comes with the android development kit knows how painfully slow it is even on a i7 CPU. Trying to run a legacy Windows x86 software on a weaker ARM processor would be insane.

Where Where Where can I find a tutorial on installing windows 10 on my Tab S? I really want to be able to install netbeans because my freakin laptop got stolen and all I can use is AIDE right now.
Please Help!!!
Completely different platforms, it's not a pc.
If it can eventually be emulated on an android tablet I doubt it will be much use.

Guess you didn't read the entire thread...YOU CAN NOT INSTALL WIN 10 ON YOUR 10.5 Tab S

You don't have the proper processor in the 10.5
You'll most likely never get any drivers for the hardware in it

Windows 10 Mobile on tablets

Hi everyone.
I saw before several days on both Windows Central and WMPowerUser that there is a one company that got Windows 10 Mobile on 6" tablet.
Is there a way to put Windows 10 Mobile on my 8" tablet that currently have Windows 8.1 with Bing?
you cant use "Mobile" version on tablets... Mobile is only for phones... look is not impossible but there is a lot problems with that...
But if I remember, Microsoft said that Windows 10 Mobile will also be used on small tablets.
wait first to be released officially to mobile phones, then wait news about that... for now not supported...

If your tablet has Windows 8.1 with Bing, doesn't mean it has a x86 processor?
Yes, but also from what I know Windows 10 Mobile have integrated support for x86

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 Mobile has support for Qualcomm SoCs only. There is a mention of phones with x86 SoCs and Windows 10 Mobile, so there might be some hope.
