On a related note, it's not impossible. It's just incredibly unlikely to ever happen anytime soon.
And incredibly pointless, in my opinion.

It's not impossible. Just extremely improbable. Windows 8 and iOS are closed OS' and if ANY person ports it to a completely different platform that person would get sued into oblivion.

Could be mistaken, but won't windows 8 only run on windows 8 certified hardware? Thus, making it impossible to run windows 8 on ARM devices?

There's are some pretty decent windows 8 launchers out there.. Some of them even get the notification bar right.. I can't tell you which ones are the best but just search the play Store and try them
Edit... I don't think they have the live tiles..But I might be wrong..

Here's the thing. You own the device, not the software.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
In theory it should be possible. We are using an ARM-powered phones and so does Microsoft/Nokia. However, we will need drivers for our hardware, such as graphics, and Microsoft won't give you those. The very helpful community here needs kernel source code to write them for you and that means Microsoft has to give you kernel source code. Do you begin to see the problem?
And then, after all that, your phone does not exist in a vacuum, no, it uses services provided by Microsoft, and you have an unauthorized device consuming them. I imagine they would respond the same way as when people tried to mod their XBOXes. You will be left with a perfectly functional useless phone.
Argument is the same for running iOS on our phones: possible, but very difficult and ultimately pointless.
Wait a few months and you will be able to run Ubuntu on your phone. Maybe.

HD2 was unique in that it was a windows phone that shared the exact hardware specifications of an existing android phone. Therefore, drivers, binaries and such didn't have to be created from scratch in order to port the os.

The other person said the same thing.You must've ported your build for yourself since you only have a few posts as well as a junior member.Why not share with the rest of the community.I'm not trying to be negative only pointing out the obvious.Good luck with your project.

The fact you just joined the site looks fishy (No offense, I'm just a paranoid person). At least you aren't asking for donations. If you can do it, do it. if you can't, oh well. I will say this though, you have better luck trying to port sense 2.1, 3.x... It has been confirmed that sense 4.x does not play well with samsung devices and many other devices as it is in this current state.
My personal opinion is; It'd be nice to have more options on this device because the reality is, this device is fast, fluid, and has a lot of possibilities! I feel as if I should have gotten a nexus device sometimes but sprint always fails to get the latest nexus devices by months...

Well, it all comes down to the willingness of a developer if he/she wants to port it or not. If you question the availability of porting webos, then you try porting it then.
Another option would be good, but at this point, why? With ics stable and jb stable around the corner, it really doesnt make sense for a dev to port it. Webos lacks alot compared to android.

The developers always love challenges. They might port it if it is interesting enough. I think the matter is whether we have the good enough developers, who use S2.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
If such a ROM ever did come into existence it wouldn't be a true windows rom but rather one based on a windows theme, which quite frankly can already be done on our phones based on themed launchers and particular apps which give it that Windows "feel".
Install EL29, Install Blazer's 4.1 ROM, Download Launcher 7, Run it. There you go
You will probably need FOTAkill.apk or Something to kill ota updates, I did.
I say EL29 because when I ran Launch 7 on ICS, it just didn't work right. And Blazer's kills off the Bloatware, Caulkin's does the same too. You can just run Launcher 7 if you feel so inclined without any of the hoopla.
isnt there a windows 8 launcher now? lol
