I saw a post on another part of the forum that was closed and the moderator linked me here.
Someone was wondering if Windows Vista could be ported to the kaiser and what the risks are.
the simple answer to your question would be...
nope
Simple answer:
NO.
With a little more detail for you:
1. Kaiser does not have an x86 processor.
2. You would have to develop an x86 emulator capable of running on the ARM processor
3. There isn't enough RAM on the device.
3. Vista's install footprint is bigger than the Kaiser's SDHC card capability.
4. Your batter would be gone before it managed to boot it.

Why would u like 2 run Vista in a PHONE? Is Vista´s dial pad better than WM? Are drugs legal in your state?
BTW ... Vista min sys specs are:
1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 GB of system memory
40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
Support for DirectX 9 graphics with:
WDDM Driver
128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
32 bits per pixel
DVD-ROM drive
If you wanna cram Vista on something small, try a VGN-UX1XN.
LOL.. I wonder why the admin closed the thread on that topic

Well this is my question. Windows Mobile can vary from 26mb to 80mb in a rom. But the iPhone operating system is 700mb.

Could we develop a version of Windows Mobile, or even a small linux that could be installed on a SD card and utilize the phones memory as RAM? This would alot us more room software render better graphics and give us a much larger kernel that would also increase stability and speed.
With the current specs of a Kaiser, you might be able to use even something like Windows 98 in the background with a java GUI.
I'm just throwing out an idea, let me know what you think.
I wondered if anyone knew if, as the htc touch diamond is a windows based phone, it could be adapted to utilise part of the 4Gb internal memory for a virtual ram drive to supliment the lack of onboard ram. My thinking process is that windows itself can be modified through settings to increase the virtual memory taking a portion of the hard disk. Can the same be done in windows mobile 6.5

Windows Mobile 5 or later, had the ability for user to select Ram vs. Rom memory depending on the users needs but no, not possible with the Windows Mobile of today.
i have a kentron ke-rd 300 (ebook reader the seller said, i say is a pocket pc with wince 5), sasung processor, arm architecture, 64mb ram. I would update it to wince6 or better, for the little capabilites of reading microsd ( only 2Gb). is a (easy) way to do it?
Hello, is there any emulator wich will alaud me to use windows xp app (like games) on mobile phones, or chance windows xp or vista or 7 to bi installed on mobile phone like htc for example?

i dont think so, windows xp needs a big ammount of ram and above 2ghz cpu dual core to even run properly these days, it takes alot of HDD space too.
Its very hard to make windows xp run natively on a phone, but emulating it is out of the question.
Emulating an entire operating system will result in major slowdown, you have xbox360 with windowsxp and its running horrible, it has a 3.2ghz tricore cpu too so imagine the speed of emulating it on a 1.0ghz dual core cpu and thats the top of the line phone these days.
So, windows will be very slow and when i mean slow i mean things like taking an entire minute to send a file to recycle bin and games would be out of the question as they are in majority D3D dependant and android cellphones use OpenGL.
As the above post says, no. It is possible to emulate a Winmo device from 2003 through 6.5.3 on your PC, but not the other way round. A phone, even the powerful ones do not have enough grunt, to do the job. WinMo emulators on the PC can now run native ARM code executables directly. No mean feat, even on a 3GHz PC
If the PC program was written in native x86 code, a phone cannot run it, but if it was written in .NET and used the core basic methods and properties of the same or a previous version of the .NET CF framework, there is a very slim outside chance that it may work, but the requisites are very restrictive.
Watch for the upcoming version of Windows 8. Microsoft is determined to get onto the latest ARM powered pad devices, having already lost important ground to the iPad and 'pad' versions of Android. This should see a much closer integration of the platforms, but next year may already be too late.

[INFO] The Difference Between 32 Bit And 64 Bit Windows & How To Choose Between Them
The tendency of a computer’s processer to deal with information on RAM (random access memory) depends upon 32 bit and 64 bit version of Windows. 64 bit version can handle more RAM and apps than 32 bit.
Let’s understand it in a simple way. 64 bit version can deal with physical memory (RAM) above 4 GB and up to 128GB (yes, it exists!) while 32-bit version can address RAM up to 4 GB only. Therefore, if you have a 32 bit version of Windows installed on your computer then installing RAM above 4 GB doesn’t make sense.
The ability to handle large memory makes the 64 bit version more efficient while dealing with processes. Hence, it increases the overall performance of your PC. So 64 bit is more powerful in a nutshell. Now lets check some more things related to these two technologies.
How to check your current version of Windows In Vista and Windows 7
To check the current version, press the Start button start . Right click on Computer and select Properties.
Computer-properties
Under “System” check “System type”. The screenshot given below indicates that my computer has 32-bit operating system.
system-details
How to check if your computer can run 64 bit of Windows
To check if your computer has 64 bit capable processor you have to perform following steps.
Click on start button. Type “Performance information and tool” inside the search box provided. Click on the result.
performance-information
Click on “View and print details”.
performance-information1
It will display all the details of your computer. Under system field you can see the details of currently running version and weather your system is capable for 64-bit or not (In mine case it is capable).
computer-detail
Note: If you are running 32 bit version of Windows then you can’t upgrade it to 64-bit version. If you want to install 64-bit version OS then you have to backup your Windows files before installing new version of the OS.
Advantages of 64 bit computer
The main advantage of using 64-bit version of Windows is that it offers better memory accessibility and management.
Enhanced security features like Kernel Patch Protection, support for hardware-backed data execution protection, mandatory driver signing, removal of support for 32-bit drivers and removal of the 16-bit subsystem available.
Performance of those programs that are specially written for 64 bit operating system is great.
Disadvantages of 64 bit computer
There is no specific disadvantage of using this version but there are some things you have to take care of before deciding to use it.
You should check availability of device drivers because 32 bit device drivers do not work on 64 bit version.
Most of the hardware devices are not compatible with 64-bit computer.
Device drivers must be digitally signed by the developer.
Some programs of 32 bit aren’t compatible with 64 bit.
How to Choose a correct version of Windows
64 bit version
Selecting correct version of Windows depends upon your priority and need. If you want to take advantage of large memory (more than 4 GB) then you could go for 64-bit version. But do check for the 64-bit versions of various tools and programs you use everyday before making the switch.
Most of new software and hardware are supported by 64-bit version. Check compatibility status of your software and devices here.
32 bit version
32 bit versions are cheaper than 64 bit versions.
If you are using old software and hardware then you could go with 32-bit version because it can support all your program and devices.
Note: Most programs designed for 32 bit version can support 64-bit version too (except some antivirus programs). But if a program is designed for 64 bit version then it won’t work on 32 bit version.
So what Windows do you use? 32 bit or 64 bit? Tell us your experience of using them in comments.
First of all, very useful info. I have the 64-bit Win8 Build 9200 running on my PC right now and have been pretty satisfied with the boot and processing speeds. Once I have used it for over a month, I ll share an extensive experience right on this thread.
