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?

Your best bet is to just download some apps that have themes for Windows 8.

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.

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.
Today, Canonical announced the Ubuntu Phone OS, which will, in the near future, will be installable on current Android devices, starting with the Galaxy Nexus I believe. Is it just me, or cam anyone else not wait for this?!
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here's the link: www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone

Awesome the more options the merrier!
It looks pretty slick. Options are always better. Would love for our devs to be able to cook some of those features in android. Open source ftw!
I can't wait!

Exciting news
Wait I don't fully understand, will it be on new devices or can we get it on devices that we already own?
Man the possibilities with having a real desktop computer in your hands and being able to run desktop applications right off the phone and not the slimmed down apps we download from google play. Looks great too.

Its already installable by computer. And phone/tablet but not the version that morphs like the one they are displaying.

I know it's already installable on computer, I used Ubuntu up until unity. You didn't have to correct me on that one;I was clarifying.

This look nice hope it don't kill android because this look like the ios of the future.

I wonder if they'll make it for tablets soon too. Eventhough the tablet I have has ubuntu ported already, but not for mobile. Just the plane desktop OS.
I second the dual booting idea! The Ubuntu phone looks awesome just like the Ubuntu Desktop looks awesome. But I can't help but think that like the Ubuntu desktop the phone will have a huge applications gaps to over come.
This looks interesting but when would the first alpha roms would show up? I kind of think they havent even open sourced it like open webos

I wouldnt care to much for Ubuntu on my GNII unless it was easily (ie: switch SD cards is all it would require to dualboot into ubuntu) applicable and then when I want to go back to regular I just put back in my original SD... until then this just isnt going to be the device for that OS

Im sure it can be ported. I saw the video that was on the ubuntu website that says it runs with all the same drivers android uses. So I am preety confident that our devs here on xda can build a ubuntu rom with no hassle at all. I personally would love to see a change on my galaxy note 2. I would love to see ubuntu (my favorite os) running on it.
it wont be just flashing a rom through recovery
youll need to use some program to flash ubuntu on the nexus phones

considering the Exynos seems to be notorious as being one of the more difficult SOC's to developer for I doubt we'll see a well running version of Ubuntu right away. I would like to see it though, and look forward to flashing it on my Nexus.
I am thinking about buying a nexus 4 just to run Ubuntu. I am going to install it on my nexus 7 tomorrow morning first thing.

I tried motochopper method and it fails and have been trying the heimdall method but am having problems installing libusb. Macs are easily accessible to me but since my pc crapped out on me I don't have easy access to a pc that I can download stuff on, anyone with Mac experience rooting able to help? I've already read the threads on it and can't figure it out and they are old and doesn't seem like support is there anymore. Thanks
