If i run Windows 7 under Fusion then I should be able to root any android phones?
Yesterday I had trouble connecting an HTC Incredible so I had to use my win7 laptop but im thinking just keeping the Macbook.
Thanks!

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.
My big question is, is this possible? Is there anything about the new Windows Phone 7 OS that would keep us from being able to dual boot it on an Android Phone (specifically the Droid X)? I'm never going to switch over to Windows Phone 7, but I wouldn't mind enjoying some of it's features occasionally.
Hey guys,
Just wondering been looking on internet everywhere and can't find it. Can you put Windows 7 ROM from new Windows mobiles onto HTC desire HD?

I don't think it is. WP7 phones have a hardware checker or something like that, so it probably wouldn't even boot up without a lot of hacking. I could be wrong though!
AFAIK Windows 7 is only available for X86 and AMD64, so no Android phone would be able to run it even if it met the other requirements.

There are versions for mobile devices, for example I've got a gps device with windows onboard..its not windows 7 mobile but there is mobile version of win for these devices.
its not exactly as windows but has some simularities, windows 8 would be exactly the same(..so they say )
Hey guys.
I had a look at the Windows 7 Phone and I really like the OS. Is there a ROM or something I can download for my HTC Desire GSM that will allow it to run Windows 7 Phone Os?
Thanks.
Btw. I'm rooted.
Sounds like something fun to try at least. Have you looked at metro ui or launcher 7? They are pretty cool and look good on my nexus one.

there is a app for android to use windows phone on android but its not the windows os. am looking for it too but no luck hope you find it
If you get the HTC HD2 you can run windows mobile 6.5.x, windows phone 7, or android 1.6 to 2.3 on it. (and if you really want you can get windows 95 and windows xp going on it too..haha)
I've done all of the above with mine - works great.
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!
