[Q] windows 7?

Hi everyone!
EeePad transformer is for me a real good tablet and it would be perfect if it could fit my regular computer use. That's why i'm asking if there is a way to put windows 7 (not windows phone 7) on it...Like a kind of dual boot...
I know there are way to put ubuntu on a HTC Desire HD, but i think its different...
Thanks for your help.

Afraid not. Windows 7 does not (and will probably never) support the Tegra 2 platform.

You could connect to your Windows PC using RDP/VNC though - maybe that will be usefull for your purposes.

Moved as not Development

Though you might eventually be able to put ubuntu on it... maybe that would serve your purposes?

There's no ARM version of Windows 7, so this isnt possible just yet though Windows 8 will have an ARM version.
Ubuntu, and other Linux flavours, do have ARM versions, so I wouldn't be surprised if Transformer specific ports turn up sooner or later.
Regards,
Dave

Windows 8 should have ARM support......and tablet mode...
But will the 1GIG ram be sufficient is another thing.

But there is an Windows Embedded (NOT Windows Phone/Mobile) out there which supports ARM and it supports all windows 7 Programms/Driver. so it could be a nice alternative?

Nope. Windows CE/Embedded/Phone doesn't support Windows 7 programs or drivers (and vice versa). Windows 8 for ARM will have the same problem (unless they add some emulator).
Typical Windows applications are written for x86 (Intel, AMD) platoform ONLY. Some Java and .NET applications can be run on other platforms but it's another story.

and so? how we can install ubuntu in eee pad trasformer? i'm serius!

Asus makes a slate that dual boots Android & W7.

can you post a link to this dual booting table? I would love to be able to put windows 7 on the transformer

Look for Asus Slate on google, it's not hard. It doesn't have Android though - but you could probably install and dual boot Android x86 (there is no HoneyComb version of it yet, but Intel probably works on it).

Asus slate is too expensive, who wants $1,300 tablet, that too with windows?

they are really crazy a tablet of $1300 its really expensive... and useless...

It has to do with processor compatibility.... Ubuntu supports ARM platform

I was going to say this will never be possible, although theoretically it should be possible to get Windows 7 to run on the transformer but it would probably be slow as hell.
Here's my idea: Install Ubuntu on the tf, (compile and) install virtualbox, install windows 7 virtually, profit!

[Question] Will it be possible to have Win7 ?

The EEE Transformer is the pick for me i think, have just bought an ipad2 a few weeks back and it sucks (no jailbreak = no customization) [No offence Apple lovers]
Tho i would love to have a Windows7 tablet with the EEE's AWSOME dock, SD Reader, USB ect ect, but also run android on it. will it be possible to dual-boot the two OS' ?
Not officially off course but eventually, is it possible for devs to port over win7 ?
might be a silly question but i have to know before i go purshasing one..

No. windows seven doesnt.run on arm hardware. Windows 8 might. But no one.knows when that is being released. But to answer ur question. No though you can remotly connect to a pc

Definitely not possible currently, as nobody has access to a Windows 7 build compiled for ARM processors, at least other than Microsoft themselves and perhaps a few outside people doing testing for them...
Eventually, an ARM build of Win7 or a future Win release (depends whom you ask) is on the cards (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/21/us-dealtalk-intel-idUSTRE73K7ZZ20110421 "Microsoft's plans to make future versions of Windows 7 compatible with ARM is another reason why Intel needs to move faster to get into Microsoft devices, Shah said"), but I'd guess you won't be able to buy it retail, and even if you can, whether or not you can install it depends on a lot more than just whether the processor architecture is right.
I'd give this a chance of "slim to none".

...and it's been answered twice before your post, as well.

Your best alternative to a Windows 7-running tablet similar to the transformer would be the Acer Iconia W500, which is similar to the A500 except for the fact that it runs windows. It will also have a keyboard dock accessory, although i personally prefer the ASUS offering

Rumor has it that the Eee Pad Slider (transformer with a slide out keyboard buit into the back) will have both android (ARM) and windows 7 (AMD fusion I believe) based models.

[Q] Dual Boot Android and Windows 7 on Asus Transformer

Hello there,
I am not too sure if this is a vague questions however I was wondering if an Asus Transformer tablet can be made dual bootable with Android and Windows 7?
Has any one tried or thought of it or heard about it or if it do-able, please let me know.
Cheers,
Ashish

No. I believe our tabs run ARM, whilst Windows is coded to run on x86/64 architecture.

Thanks Chris, for your reply. is there a possibility to dual boot Android and Windows Phone 7 on Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance,
Ashish

no WP7 is closed source. It also only supports 512 mb ram and a single core processor

It's exactly this sort of naive question that means Microsoft will able to sell more than 10 Windows 8 tablets.
It won't run Windows 7 because it runs ARM CPU. And Windows 8 tablets won't run windows applications for the very same reason.

Why do you guys want windows 7 on a tablet? I have played once with Win 7 tablet and it's pretty awkward though it's very nice to have the programs you use on your PC.

Ubuntu Tablet on TF300t?

Hey guys I've been in and out of the transformer forums mainly because I like where I'm at on my tf300. But since the release of Ubuntu tablet, I was thinking, Could our tablet support a port (or direct build) of Ubuntu tablet?

yes, but its still in its early development phases so you'll have to wait a while.

Yep you really can't have it yet. You can install vanilla Ubuntu or many other distros though. Heck put Backtrack on it and you'll have a sweet network tool.

Might be easier than you think
One of the reference platforms for Ubuntu Tablet Edition is the Nexus 7. The TF300T is essentially the same hardware. Heck, even the screen resolution is the same even though it's physically bigger. I plan on giving it a go myself just to see what happens

Hi I've just tried this using VMware Workstation and the pass-thru works find but Linux knows your device is TF300 so it doesn't let you install it.
Guess we are going to have find a way to make Ubuntu think your device is a Nexus 10 to install

Can you just edit the build.prop to trick it into thinking its a Nexus 7? I have done this on my Note 2 in order ti get PS Touch.

Other options, a little smaller at 8", include the Chuwi Hi8.
Yes I know, they're Chinese makes but they're dual boot Android & Windows 8.1/10 which you won't find in American and large foreign tablet manufacturing due to licensing issues.

The Samsung Galaxy tab s is a great tablet.
