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)

well it seems i have trouble registering to the site so couldnt see any post...
but i guess great minds think alike
Ok have searched around, and have found nothing before asking.
I started rooting back when I had the Samsung Moment, Yeah, while back.
Anyhow, I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly....when you rooted(even when windows 7 came out) it was required to have xp files in it.
Having Windows Home Edition should be Ok right? I have not tried and trickling last thoughts and asking if need be before I flash!
Have not seeen in any root directions for siii that anything else was needed except Windows PC!!
If I remember correctly my tech buddy from school told me that windows 7 and xp are related to each other in that there are xp files that allow windows 7 to run lightly in the ram just like xp.
And btw you should be dine one home edition that's what I rooted my s3 from.

Hi all.
I want to know how it is.
Does it have android apps like viber,tango,skype etc?Or it has different apps?
I never used windows mobile 7 phone.
I used to be a big fan of Windows Phones, but the OS is too closed for my liking.
Go ask in the HTC 7 forums, you'll definitely get answers there
i've used the search button an havn't found an answer so... Is there any chance of us getting a nice windows 8 rom? im not a fan of themes to honest so anything like a windows 8 rom about?
cheers dan

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*
@Jacker31 and others
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.

J,
hi, how much ram did you allocate to the emulator ?
i had a thought of using bosch to run a minimal pe windows [minixp]
i'm going to try 800mb ram on the tab 4, on the tab 3 i believe only the p5220 would
have enough ram available for a semi-decent run.
@ghost_j1
Else i think the only solution is ssh/vnc as long as your connect is reliable.
@r2d23cpo
r2, get better soon ! you've got work to do !
