Hello all...
Could it be possible to get win8 rt on galaxy 7.7?
Mvh.

The first question would be: why? Being an arm processor it would be Windows 8 RT. There is much more software available for Android than win 8 RT. And you would not be able to run normal Windows software as that needs Intel and a full Windows 8.
Then the likelihood is low because we will never get the source code like you do with Android. The developers are struggling enough to port jellybean with the jellybean source but no propriety driver source. Win 8 is probably a non started.

Ok, i was just curious if it could be done
But i short the answer must be no then...

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!
Is there any possibility to load Windows 7 standalone on Asus Transformer or better still have the option for Dual boot Windows 7 along with Honeycomb?
From what I've read windows 7 currently is impossible but may be possible on future windows iterations. Ubuntu is a possibility tho ..... see separate threads.

I don't know about Windows 7, however Windows 8 has already been demonstrated running on a Tegra 2 processor. So it may be a possibility for the Transformer. A beta is rumored to be available in September 2011.

And when it does become available, it will be largely useless. Do you think that the wealth of Windows apps are suddenly going to work in an ARM version of Windows 8? Think again. Every single app on Windows is compiled for the x86/x64 bytecode and will have to be recompiled for the ARM instruction set.
MS would be better off developing a tablet version of Windows Phone 7 and forget about squishing a desktop OS onto a tablet.
Trouble is, WinPhone requires a total rewrite of your apps. In theory, WinARM would at least be compatible at the source level. The idea isn't to run existing apps but to make porting them as painless as possible. Assuming WinARM is targeted at tablets (and not, for example, desktops/laptops with nVidia's Denver chip), developers would have to do nothing more than write a new UI and recompile (and as .NET already runs on a VM, x86-ARM differences shouldn't be much of an issue).

Can you provide me atleast 10 links out of 20, Mr. Search Master? As i could not find it ...
Thanks guys for clearing the doubt, i hope windows 8, comes out soon for Tegra 2 devices.
Unlike Linux, recompiling Win apps for the ARM is not easy do to x86 hooks that are incorporated. Think directx, activex, etc.
True but if you are using .Net Framework it should not be that painful. I had some of my WinForms apps working in mono in no time. I have not tried with WPF yet but it is on my list.
So as long as the Framework supports it, open the solution, rebuild it and run.
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.
i know nothing about porting windows or whether or not it can even be used on this tablet...
do any of you know if we could dual boot windows rt on this?
Maybe

I am also interested in this question. If someone finds the time reply please.
It seems to be a possibility bc Asus is releasing a windows 8 tablet with the same specs as our tf700 except more ram.

Not possible and illegal if it would somehow happen. That's like porting iOS to an android smartphone or tablet.

Not quite. iOS is meant to run only on Apple hardware. Android and Windows on the other hand are meant to be run on as many pieces of hardware as possible.

Not to mention, you would need the source code for iOS. Android is open source thus allowing developers to port it onto any capable device.

Did anyone check Windows 8 RT's architecture? If it's x86 it's not going to work with ARM.
Edit: Boink! It's ARM, we should see it on here in the future. Maybe Windows 8 RT will avoid the ridiculous I/O problems we currently have.

I don't think it's possible because Windows RT won't be released for consumers. It comes preinstalled.

Just saw this on engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/17/asus-windows-8-tablets-599-799/
It shows a TF600T, seems to be about the same specs(with the little they show) as our tf700t. Maybe that will mean that we might be able to dual boot win 8!?
I sure hope so!
While theoretically it is possible to dual boot both Android and Windows RT if you can hack the UEFI firmware, I don't bet my money on the tf700 being able to boot Windows RT. Microsoft has made it very clear for all OEMs that there must be no mechanism to disable secure boot on Windows RT. So, as far as I can understand, there are 2 problems:
1. Windows RT is only available to OEMs to preinstall on their devices and it won't be available to the public.
2. Windows RT requires UEFI secure boot, which won't allow anything else to run, including Linux.
Business as usual, I don't expect Microsoft to play nice with Android.

It looks like at least the basic hardware on the tablet is supported by Windows 8 RT, but Microsoft doesn't sell it directly. Your best bet is to get in touch with someone who has a Microsoft developer account, and see if they can get an image for you. That said, Windows 8 is pretty awful. If you want to turn your tablet into a more full computer, I recommend looking at the Ubuntu Touch, Arch, or XUbuntu threads in the development section.
This tablet will never run windows rt (not absolutly true if you enjoy windows rt in qemu enviroment:silly hint the tf600 is basically this tablet with windows rt.
But even then our linux ports created by only a few people run better then 90% of windows rt tablets lol, youd be jelious of our linux if you had a windows rt tablet
