Will Windows Phone 7/8 apps work on Windows RT? - Microsoft Surface

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/store/app/image-map/f6d38972-f00b-4a25-b6aa-530dcce8b996
Someone told me that Windows Phone 7 or 8 apps will run on Windows RT. Is this true? If so, can someone test to see if the app above will work on Windows RT? I've tried to Google the answer, but no results popped up.

No, they will not (except under a windows phone simulator). Whoever told you that was wrong.

Soon it will be possible...don't know how soon though...

I doubt that. The job posting news sites are linking talks about source code compatibility between Win8 and WP8. Nothing about running WP apps on Win8.

What is this based on? The Windows Phone SDK uses a different API (the WinPhone api even in WP8 is NOT WinRT/"Store App", rather it is still largely the same as WP7x)
Not only that, but why would you want the lower functionality of a WP app on WinRT?

Yeah, it works fine with Vista. The software comes with Microsoft Office. I don't know if it's available separately though.
well, when i said without XP, i really meant without the Office software
but thanks anyway, maybe I can bum it off of my mom when the school makes her upgrade to the new office

Hi ! What are you looking for?
I have XP and office 2007 with onenote. Onenot by default identify the WMS5/6 and will pormpt you if you want to install on the device.
So yes it can run independent of XP since it is running on WM5/6. but you would need to install it once via XP, I do not know about Vista.
I am not sure if I answered your question.

I really need some help here :/

So i am beginning on a Windows 8 app, and want to build a music app, like the one that is on the windows one seven, but so far I have been unabe to get one to even work correctly. Is there a way I can get the Windows phone seven music app source code??
Thanks in advance.
Tried it once already, but I can't seem to find that darn code! Although shouldn't this be posted in somewhat in the W8 forum ?
I thought maybe it would, but im asking for a windows phone 7 app. So i just put it into general. Well, i will keep looking, The zune code should work as well if im not mistaken....

[Q] WP7 & Ubuntu

Is there any way to sync WP& whilst running ubuntu? I've searched around a bit and found no conclusive answers. Maybe setting up a virtual box for Windows 7 & Zune to run in? Anyone have any ideas?

Emulate Zune with wine? But I don't know, if working.

internet VPN on Surface RT?

I heard that some users can't use VPN for something called Cisco, I don't know what it is. But I am currently working in China and they have The Great Firewall which doesn't allow me to use youtube, google half assed, and a VERY slow and sometimes not working Gmail.
I use a VPN from the States to get around this on my laptop. Can I do that with the Surface RT as well?
I remember the VPN company had me download something to run my VPN but I don't know if I actually use it or just use the windows setup. I have Windows 8 developer preview still on my laptop.
thanks,

Hello,
"Standard VPN" connections work like a charm on Surface... but if you need to install any aditional software it won't work as you can't use standard x86 apps.
hope this helps.

Hi, I am using Astrill VPN provider for simillar reasons and although it also comes with a client that allows you to select a server to connect to, they have a list of servers on the web page that you can use with the standard VPN in Windows RT - it works like a charm, no client needed!
I don't know if I need to install that or not. Because I never actually open that file to run the VPN. I just start it up through Windows using the address and password they give me. I don't know what I am doing but somehow it works and I can access youtube.
Thank you!

I'm new in the forum and can't post links, but you can go to wiki dot astrill dot com and search "astrill setup manual for windows 8" you will find how to do it there.

Openvpn is being ported to RT. It's still alpha quality though

Anyone here has an android ROM that's bootable from USB for this device?? I've been trying to find one that works and even found some that boots but touch is always broken, screen rotation as well, sound and trackpad are also always not working...
I've been wanting to move from Windows 10 to android on this device because windows 10 can't actually play any YouTube videos properly... It's becoming a real hassle to me as a musician and android would make a huge difference.. I think...

I searched in all their links and all I can find is the Windows only download.. They even have a link saying DualOS (WIN&Android) but the dropbox it redirects me sends me to a bios only download... :/
I've reinstalled windows 10 here with what they provide in their site, its extremely old and edge doesn't even load youtube pages.. chrome loads fine but after a while it starts consuming tons of CPU making the video lag... :/
Just to clarify and keep this post updated, I really want android or maybe chrome os in this equipment and I'm searching all over the web, even on those shady sites, for a way to have it.
I made a windows 10 home, fully updated with all the drivers working(except for the camera? When in the making that single driver was unsuccessfully installed).
It's working smoothly(most of the times) but video playback on YouTube on any browser is still laggy and sometimes everything just gets really slow.
A workaround I found was to install an app for youtube and that solves that problem.. but I still want android so, if anyone has any clue on how to install Android here, let me know!
If anyone needs, I'll make a iso for the windows 10 with drivers I made. It works normally right after install.
Well.
I'm still searching the web for answers.. soon enough I'll have to wander the deep web.. ??

Could you make that iso. I bought a used Voyo VBook V3 and it has no OS on it and Voyo's web site doesn't have a working download link on there web site for the Windows 10 image or the drivers.

Either way. I'm so sorry for taking so freaking long to reply....

You're in luck, I found the drivers on one of my external hard drives
I'll make that ISO, it'll probably be done in an hour or so but expect it later in the day as I have to go shopping with my girl
I'll upload it do google drive and I'll also leave a RAR file with all the drivers.
