Minor Help
I read somewhere that it is possible. But getting a boot loader installed might be device-specific.
Try looking up Android x86
Hope this leads you to the right direction

Thank you for the input I am really new to this but why x86 the tablet us going to be running windows 7 x64

Wp7 on android pre-installed phone

I was wondering if I could flash a wp7 rom (lastest build) to my android phone (Motorola triumph 2.3.7 gb) ? Is that even possible?

It's possible in theory since the Triumph uses Snapdragon processor.
Unfortunately, no one has publicly been able to port Windows Phone OS to Android devices.

Wp7 isn't open source, so it won't happen...

Other than hd2, no phone has windows phone ported

it would be frowned upon by microsoft for licensing... but who cares about EULA's ? i don't.
i'd imagine the small, incremental changes in chipsets would be problematic for the drivers to handle... given how driver updates have gone in windows in the past, and there is no driver update service on wp.

in xda some friends ported succesfully wp7 on toshiba tg01
and even there are some troubles like camera and signal otherwise it work
therefore maybe one day...

Technically HTC evo should be able to have a port but i don't think there is enough demand for it

Sad but true

I really hope it will NEVER happen because we paid a lot of money to have Microsoft OS. I could buy a Galaxy S phone than install Windows Phone on it instead of buying an Omnia 7 paying 70/80 euros more...

[Q] Dual Boot With Windows

Hey guys,
Had a quick thought and there's a couple of threads on a few forums about it but none of them have been active since this time last year.
Does anyone think a Xoom could dual boot between Android 4.0.4 and windows 7 or 8?

no

Only if NVidia produces win8 drivers for the Tegra2, which is never going to happen.

[Q] Ubuntu phone, any chance for porting?

Canonical today announced ubuntu native on phones, any hope for porting in our nexus?
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone

It would be very interesting, but since the age of the Nexus i think It will take much before seeing run Ubuntu.

I disagree, have you seen the minimum specs of Ubuntu? They're in the same ballpark of the NS. But since it will be a mobile version, the minimum requirements will drop. However, i doubt anyone will take the time to port it to our phone, and optimize it properly. That being said, it would run great on the ns, with the right optimizations, which will probably never get done.

Have faith. Some developer may have mercy on the NS and port it anyway.

Win RT

Is it possible to Port Win7/8 RT on our Folio?

Maybe before this we need a over clocked kernel!!!

Almost the only thing I know about Win8 RT is it is closed source. So I suppose a port is not possible. It also eats insane amounts of storage. I read some time ago that in 32 GB Surface tablets, 16 GB were for the OS...
