I'm about to try the Windows 7 Beta OS out and I was wondering whether any of you have had problems with cooking ROMs in Windows 7?
If so, do you also have problems cooking in Vista (I'm currently using XP, so I have no idea).
i'm currently running xp also, lol, but from what i hear at ppcgeeks no one is having any problems cooking roms. people are saying they have less problems than vista
Cool. I actually went ahead and installed Windows 7 onto my Mac via VMWare fusion, and cooking went well, so for those who are iintersted, don't worry about it.

Hardware Capabilities are not suitable for running Windows Vista
not even the starter edition
Some people have managed to run WinXp or Win98SE
with a lot of effort and unstable
Regards!
Whaaaaaat !?!?!?! Vista lmao, who told you that or where did you read such a thing ?
Windows 95 and 98se or XP are ONLY started on an emulator, not as pure OS. And trust me, they are slow...but ...if you just want to brag, then yes, you can start Windows XP too..but make sure you start the emulation 10 minutes before you intend to show it
i am sure this person is talking about making a skin to look like vista.
Or flash a new rom from Windows Vista...but his request is ambiguous so...we are allowed to guess his questions

My guess:
He wants to throw his Wizard to Bill Gates for not having windows Vista on a mobile phone.
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha, Oh amazing! Vista on a mobile device... Hahahaha.
The sad thing is that there are some people out there, and I wouldn't doubt this person is one of them, that honestly think just because it has the LOOKS of an OS, that it equates to actually BEING the OS.
I have a PSP and dabble in the homebrew world a little bit. I've come across some of the biggest morons on the web who think they're installing Windows Vista on their PSP. See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJyBAmX4VEo
The guy even mentions that it comes with antivirus protection!

i agree
my point was only these OS has been "run" at a PPC Platform
i tested once at universal (former main device) and it was very very slow, if possible and drivers available (impossible i guess) only win 3.11 will run at a normal performance

the latest WM is 6.1 (released or leaked) as far i know so you can try on that but no fancy aero stuff or anything like the visual honey of the vista
as some of the guys said you can skin your device or install a theme with a bit of vista look
sorry maybe you should get an HTC Shift the only device i know of this manufacturer actually capable of running vista
He's probably saw this somewhere. http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=3006
i got this old phone because my iphone was stolen. windows 6.1 is on it right now. this is the at&t version of the phone. Please be aware that i know nothing about roms/phone hacks/etc...
i would like to upgrade this phone to windows 6.5 (or 7 if it can do it)...
thank you for your help.
also, what software do i use to hook the phone to the pc (windows 7 64-bit)
um, anybody! HEY THERE!
To connect the device to Windows 7 you will need Window Mobile Device Centre.

There is a link for 32 and 64 bit versions.
For upgrading the ROM start here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397434
Mobile 7 is probably impossible.
Is the upgrade form 6.1 to 6.5 worth all the hassle?
well, let me ask you: is winmo 6.5 way better than 6.1?
Only if you really need the finger flicking Sense iPhone style user interface. That's all it seems to offer over 6.1
First off unlocking the phone and upgrading the stock Rom is probably the best thing you can do to improve performance .
I did this and am running basically a stock Rom with all the garbage-ware removed, it is more stable and faster . See my sig for the Rom..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811121
6.1 and 6.5 , both have there advantages , it all depends on what you like..
hi everyone.
dose anyone have any idea if we can find win7 for herms somewhere?coz i have checked that 6.5 its aweful i did,nt liked that so if anyone can help us all to find win7 for herms that will be nice.
regards to all xda family members
in a word...
no
That is never going to happen for so many reasons, the HD2 is the only phone with a ROM currently, but the Hermes doesn't even vaguely have the correct specs.
Windows 7 is unlikely to ever run on *any* phone, ever, period. Firstly, there is no ARM version of Windows 7 and secondly no phone would be beefy enough to run it anyway.
Looking to jointhe WP7 revolution in a few weeks with an upgraded phone (Looking at HTC Titan)
My home PC's currently run Winsdows XP.
Will i encounter any issues with this? Do i NEED to upgrade to windows 7?
I'd assume i might get better functionality with win7, and ive priced up upgrading my main pc to suit and ive been looking at swapping my tablet for a windows7 tablet too to keep everything the same.
However if i can get away with XP for a bit longer I'd rather do these things a step at a time.
So ultimately will a WP7 device talk to an XP OS without any issues?
WP7 talks to your PC via Zune. According to the main Zune download page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/zune-software.aspx Zune supports XP SP3, Vista & Win7.
Note that you must have SP3 for XP installed. Other than that, looks like you're okay.
Brad.
XP will work fine
XP SP3 would work, but I think an upgrade would suit you better in the long run with W8 coming out this year XP will start to be cut off soon, but you should not have any problems software wise.
Windows 7 is Da Bomb, but XP is still a solid OS. Wait till Windows 8, then do your upgrade. Why pay for dual upgrades.
Also, usually when a new version of Windows is getting close to release, you can pay for the current OS and get a free upgrade to the newest when it's released. That works well if you decide to upgrade your PC at the same time. Buy a PC with Windows 7 and get the free Windows 8 upgrade. But wait till it's advertised that way...
The theory was - i wanted to get an Acer Iconia W500 but i may wait until Win 8 is released before taking this plunge
The Desktop pc - im sure all it requires is more RAM to be capable of a newer OS (only got a gig in it) So im sure that should be a straightforward upgrade - I'm to be Dual screening this at somepoint this year too This is aimed as music library management, main data backup/management and music production.
The touchscreen tablet is going to be aimed at keeping my data syncd while on the go but primarily as i DJ a lot to be used as a music interface and a disco light controller. Ive currently got a Compaq TC1100 doing this task
Id rather do this a bit at a time otherwise it all adds up to a fair amount of cash - so i'll stick with XP for the time being if it'll work
I've used XP, Vista, And W7 for my Radar and have had no problems.
Nice choice on the Titan, but I would wait and see what pricing is now on the new Titan II.
BTW, Welcome to the WP family!
Ive been reading alot about running windows on android device,its possible,but whats up with the speed?why everything is so slow? I remember back in 2008 i was able to run windows 95 on my n95...but now our tf300 or other android phones is much faster,so whats up with the speed?is it video drivers?i would love to run winxp on my tab *^▁^*
Yeah, there is a possibility of running Windows 98 and older using dosbox, but it is nearly unusable, since it's pretty slow.
Also there will be Windows 8 released for mobile devices, but not separately sold, it will only be available for official Windows 8 tablets
Well i guess then we will be able to create(rip) an image of windows 8 and port it to another devices but i assume that will be piracy and not allowed to post here XD
