Nope. Because it is pointless.

There is much more to it than this. Development section is typically a wysiwyg thing these days. You aren't going to see much more new roms made for Desire, let alone porting some new stuff to it even if it was possible.

No, impossible. I've heard they did port it for Desire HD2. Don't think they are gonna do it for the old Desire. You could always download Launcher7 from the playstore, it's the same.

Licensing issues will prevent windows running on the desire. The hd2 is a windows phone.

I would rather see Firefox OS running on Desire

I prefer the Sense 4 windows in htc diamond 2 I had and did not taste too.

Agree that, it's pointless.
BTW, windows8 or windows phone 8?
windows 8 can't run in any phone, only windows phone 8

No, wanting an iPhone port is probably the most anti android you can get. At least winmo is open source.
I'm sure Windows Phone 7 will be ported over if possible. the HTC HD7 has very similar hardware so I don't see how it would not be possible, but I'm not a rom developer so my words are meaningless.
you mean like this one which will be translated into english tomorrow 10-26-10

usually it's more on getting drivers to work than anything else i believe.
i'd be interested in trying it out if it happens.
i ran XAndroid on my HTC Diamond. Was fun to dual boot WinMo and Android.

Yeah I'd definitely try it too. I'm not buying a WP7 until I try ti first for an extender period of time. Plus the main screen of the UI looks soooo boring to me. Well hopefully getting the drivers to work wont be too hard for these crazy developers here. And I had android on my Touch Pro

Why is windows phone not possible?

why is it not possible to port windows phone 7 on the desire hd, when it's possible to port it on the hd2?
It would be possible, it wouldn't be legal though. The Desire HD does not have a license to use WP7. That is the biggest hurdle. I don't think any dev here would want Microsoft Legal chasing them, plus it would be against XDA rules.

HD2 is a MS phone, so has MS drivers, DHD is not an MS phone (thank christ for that) so you'd have to start from scratch and why anyone would put the effort in is beyond me, especially when if it worked it'd attract the might of the MS legal department. Is it possible that the HD2 port relies on some MS development leaks even?

Quoted for truth.
I would never use Windows Mobile on my phone. Android is much better, and in my opinion Win7 Mobile has a terrible user interface.

MAc for wp7 devices??

I just saw this great article(http://jailbreakredsn0w.com/ios-6-beta-4-released-to-developers/) saying that Apple has released Iphone , ipod, ipad IOS 6 SDK out for developers.

I think - judging from title - he wants to know whether iOS could be ported over to WP7 devices. If so: no, not possible.
Exactly thats what i am asking for can iOS be ported to wp7 devices if no can you provide reasons?

IOS is compiles for specific hardware, unless you get an idevice running wp7 natively there's no hope it will be ported to the current wp7 handsets.

Port Windows Phone OS to S3

I hope I don't get flamed but I just wanna know if this is possible. There is a windows phone with the same specs as the S3 not released yet (forgot the name of it). and i would also like to know why it cannot be done if so.
Anything is possible. Is it likely someone will go through the trouble of trying to do this when you can just buy a WP8 device? Probably not.
Also, just because 2 phones use the same SoC doesn't mean they can run the same software without issue.

Thanks you for the response, definitely answered my question
One problem is that WP8 is not on open source like Android. Your phone needs a license to use it.

Please inform me if that is illegal so I don't start working on this project.

I dont think that its impossible, maybe very very difficult, but not impossible.
And to be clear, my previous answer was not to discourage you in any way ! It was more out of a joking point of view, please port whatever you wish

I don't think Windows RT has been ported to any unofficial device yet. I'm not sure if it's possible since the OS itself is closed source., and drivers can only help so much. It would be interesting to see someone try, though.

I'm talking about a software solution to S-OFF.

Another thing we should probably consider is: Will our bootloaders allow NT kernels to boot on our device? If so, wouldn't we need s-off anyway?
