Already read a Locked thread about porting windows..people were sayin windows 8 supports ARM so at that time windows 8 wasnt released yet...as of now the devs version is out already... and experiments??
Searching MSDN might turn up an answer.. (Q asked 2weeks ago)
I am a Dot.Net programmer so Microsoft helps put food in my children's mouths. I am a huge fan of the .Net dev environment and it is perfect for the business apps my company sells. That said:
I BOUGHT MY ASUS TRANSFORMER BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT SOME DARNED MICROSOFT OS MAKING MY PORTABLE DEVICE A DOG!!!!
My company has provided me with multiple different Windows Mobile piece of junk phones and I am SO PLEASED that they are finally allowing me to upgrade to an Android phone!
Some day I hope to find time to play with the Visual Studio add-in for developing Android apps.
if you really did read the locked thread (yes, I am saying you are bullshitting about that) you would know the answer is no, the windows 8 developer preview is for x86 and x86_64 arches only.

I was searching on the internet for the code name for windows xp (whistler) becose i must check this out for school.
but searching and searching i found this list ---> Klik
In the windows CE list is added -->
Photon
Windows Mobile 7.0
Major update to the platform, merging Smartphone and Pocket PC. Expected in Q4 2007. [2] (based on Windows CE 6.0) .
If windows mobile 7.0 has a codename (photon) then microsoft is building this software
Greats

No... And I thought M$ was lazy with development in Windows Mobile.
yeah CE6 have been out for a long time
so it's only natrual that ms's developers
are making a windows mobile based on it
though i would not count on dates of releases
from wiki everybody can post that
dont need to be officialy or insider ms sources who do
OK Zephus

zephus No... And I thought M$ was lazy with development in Windows Mobile.
hahah you think ms is lazy LOL i think you are crazy i even have windows mobile 6 Embedded from microsoft .
but if you search more then you notice that microsoft is building a lot of programes and tools.
Greats antonius
Yeah, that's definitely an obsolete target date. The last time Photon was in the news was more than 6 months ago.
From its inception, it had always been rumored to have been a significant shift in user experience heavily featuring iPhone-like "gestures", but I'm guessing it was only that way because of spies stealing Apple's intel (and vice-versa). I mean hey, if WM7 was truly on the verge of being released, don't you think they would have informed HTC of this when they were developing their iPhone-like TouchFLO interface?
My take on the whole matter is they most likely had an internal target date set, but once the iPhone came out, they pushed the date back a ways to make sure it trumps the iPhone when released. I'd peg WM7 as a summer 2008 RTM, with *maybe* holiday season '08 as when you'll start to see devices released with it installed.
made it to the news a while ago....mainly because no one could understand how stupid the marketing team could be that was naming these OS versions. Windows Mobile 6 comes out but its the same Windows CE5 as Windows Mobille 5. Now Windows Mobile 7 is based on Windows CE6...anyone else wish they could get rid of the genius who developed this naming scheme other than me....
I know I can't be the only one that gets annoyed of by this
I think a naming issue is the least of the Windows Mobile development teams worries...and quite frankly they can call it whatever they want id prefer Microsoft gave the WM development division the funds, research or ppl necessary to realise they have powerful devices here and its about time the WM platform evolved to meet the convergence in these devices and take advantage of their capabilities and technology.

Half '08!
just like vista - viana
like what they gonna do with windows vista to windows viena.
they say its honna be just a update and not a hole windows so you buy win vista and then you must install viena update.
i heard that in the news in the dutch from the eu
At&t treo 750
Maybe this is why they are holding on the WM5 upgrade?

God 2009 - at least we know there will be a new OS not for our current devices but for future ones
but again who knows we might end up with windows 6.5 or 6.6 or 6.x
an alternative will be lots of updates
great news - thanks to the author
well MS better hurry up and improve WM to compete with Androids. Steve Ballmer was talking trash about Androids but I think WM6 still have too many probs, and google doesnt make mistake w/ their products
More WM7 stuff here.
but ther is no wm7 for xda :crying::crying:
How do you even find a thread that is 4 years old on xda? :what:

yuck
white i like the sound of having desktop applications on phone windows on arm would suck. they need to use intel x64 processors.
and also the fact its not open source
Ok 2008 will be laid to rest...Thank You & Thread Closed.
Do you think it would be logical to release Windows 7 with Windows Mobile 7 together. Windows 7 probably will be release in summer 2010. I think Windows Mobile 7 will be also out in 2010. Also I remember Mobile 5 was released in 2005.
I'm typing this on Windows 7 right now, and it's already more stable than Vista was after more than a year of being released. Seeing as Release Candidate 1 was released recently, the final product doesn't seem to far away to me.
My copy of Windows 7 build 7000 self destructs on August 1st, making me think that they're nuking my copy so I won't be using it after the final product is released. And seeing as the back to school computer sales are always good for PC manufacturers and Microsoft, I'm sure they'll want to get it out by then, so they can catch the Back-to-School crowd and the Holiday shopping crowd later on.
Plus, I believe Microsoft was proposing some offer to give customers a free Windows 7 upgrade if you bought a Windows Vista computer during the summer of 2009. That makes me think that Win7 is just on the horizon. As for WM7, I don't think that it will be ready until at least 2010.
So I personally don't think they'll be released together because I think it would be stupid on Microsoft's part to delay an already stable desktop OS that they so desperately need to release, just so they can release its mobile counterpart at the same time.

I don't know. The Microsoft is loosing market share in mobile world now as never before. They must to make something that will bit iphone and android with palm. Plus I don't think that Microsoft able to ship Windows 7 soon because Vista had the same story. If they offer the free upgrade to 7 this summer, so probably Windows won't be ready until than. From using Windows 7 i can say it better than Vista, but it is still not perfect. I think Microsoft will take their time and make a good OS, because the rush with Vista didn't lead to anything good.
P.S. Also as in Windows 7, Windows Mobile 7 will have multitouch (hopefully).
Well the Windows7 is nothing else then completed Vista! Vista was planned and started to programmed to have most of the Windows7 futures but as usual MS has screw up big time on timeline.. Computer sales Slash down tremendously as many consumers were waiting for Vista and MS were losing huge money. However MS kill few of the responsible VP's get new one in and the conclusion was just release first whatever is there!!!! As a old saying: IN ORDER TO MAKE CHANGES YOU NEED SURVIVE FIRST
Regards to WinMo.. In fact WinMo phones has increasing market share compare last year’s numbers. Not that much as Blackberry followed by Apple but they all taking share from the symbian away.
Indeed the biggest enemy of Microsoft is Microsoft itself!!! The Internal divisional Political wares prevent them to move fast as suppose to.
Until this year The WinMo division has been treated like a step child and not really put full attention on it. The appearance and success of Iphone, Google’s releas android have shaken few things up in Microsoft.
Now Microsoft has smell blood and wants to make the WinMo more than a simple phone. Changes in marketing (advertisements) ; Widows live and additional services indicating it very much. However said that again back to where I started and that is: the biggest enemy of Microsoft is Microsoft itself. Remember Vista suppose to be released in same time as the Microsoft office...
On the contrary I believe many existing Software companies are happy that Microsoft is as it is! In fact if Microsoft would really do perfect job and release complete software as it suppose to be then I guess 50-70% third-party software companies would be closing down
totally indipendant and will not be released together...would be a marketing nightmare as well as total confusion.
Microsoft stated that 2009 will be 'the year of windows 7' and 2010 'the year of windows mobile 7'. Might be they said 2010 and 2011, but I'm a 100% sure Mobile will be released a year after normal.
I don't have a link, but i read this in an article about 2 weeks ago.
Hey everyone,
I am a long time visitor but this will be my first post.
I was reading and watching various demos of windows embedded compact 7 and I realized that this is the OS us windows mobile users really wanted for our devices (at the risk of making assumptions). A flexible and powerful OS with great windows connectivity. I have seen it run on the Tegra 2 platform but I was wondering if a Snapdragon equipped phone (such as the HD2) could run this OS.
Windows Phone 7 is good but I think its too tied down and not in the spirit of the old Pocket PC days, maybe I am just a nostalgic sod but I remember the feeling of using my shiny new iPaq with a color LCD and being amazed
I am hoping to tap into the community's considerable expertise to answer this one. Also, if technically feasible, maybe we could start the porting process for this already available OS. With Silverlight I am sure many members could come up with innovative and original UIs. The extensibility appears boundless and I think that is what this community loves best.
Hi all,
Was hoping I could get a bit of help with my dilema!!!
I am due for an upgrade at the end of this month and cannot make up my mind as to which mobile to go for!
Over the last 12 months I have been learning to develop applications for android while on a work placement via my University. I have found this to be a steep learning curve as my Java knowledge was very limited, will I continue? not sure yet...! But, I do like the HTC Desire HD whether developing android apps or not.
On the otherside of the coin.....
Next year (this coming October) I will be learing to develop Windows phone 7 applications while on my third and final year. While I am still a novice with Silverlight and Expression Blend, I have had some considerable experience over the last 2 years writing C# code to develop Windows forms and ASP.Net sites, and have looked into developing for WP7 and feel quietly confident that this will be better than my experience developing for android.
I have never held a WP7 let alone used one and have read a number of negative reviews online about them. However, due to the areas I will be studying next year and my current knowledge I cannot decide on what handset to get, and as my contract will be for 2 years I want to make sure im stuck with the right one!
I havn't got a clue as to which WP7 is the best and am not fixed on the HTC Desire HD either...
I would like to hear from both android and WP7 developers / consumers your views on both OS's and preferred handsets.... from both a developers and a consumers point of view...... Also if there is anything that should be avoided i.e. specific versions of android / WP7 OS's?
Thanks guys!
Hi to all Developers out there! I have an obvious Question that interest not only me: Can you make a Windows RT port for the TF300T?! I know many out there say "Windows is not open source/its illegal"... Well, i know you cannot buy Windows RT, but WP7 also sucessfully ported to phones like the HTC HD2 and no one can tell me that WP7 was/is open source!
It would be so nice if there will be a port... Windows 8/RT is so gorgeous with a touchscreen Maybe someone out there can handle this huge project
Thanks, fredopato.
someday

It will likely happen eventually, but don't hold your breath. As you said, windows rt is not something you can purchase, it has to be bought with a device, so whomever is trying to port it to our device will have to spend the money to buy a windows rt device, proceed to delve deep enough into it to extract some sort of core windows rt, manage to write drivers and compatibility for our tab and then try to set up a mass-consumable version of it. Not to mention that all of this is not legal, so it probably won't even show up on this forum.
long story short, it's gonna be a while pal, better just make your peace with android for now

A major difference between the two windows versions you mention is that the last I checked you can't buy windows rt - it is for manufactures to install on new units to be sold retail.
My little research on windows rt is it will only run software written for windows rt so from my stand point useless for years until the base of available software is much larger and broader.
Just one opinion! I am with many others that this type of thread is asking for trouble.
Now if you want to discuss using a version of a windows retail product then I see no issue as anyone wishing to use it could and should have a legal license.
+1 on above post by fankuan19
If you are after the look and feel of windows rt then ask for a windows rt theme to work with one of the new roms that use themes and that would be something that could be accomplished and legally.
Lastly there are devs other than those on xda and maybe one of those would be a better choice. Get like minded people to put a bounty on the development.
Windows 7 vs. Windows RT
To hack a phone so that Windows 7 will run on it, you basically just need to create an x86 emulator, then use the install disks that Microsoft sells to install the OS. But microsoft does not sell install disks for Win RT. Win RT cannot be installed from media. The OS is baked into the tablet itself.
Now, that deosn't mean that it cannot and never will be done. But it won't be easy, and likely won't be done.
