The yet to come out Viewsonic "Viewpad" tablet is to be dual boot Win7 or android...although differentprocessor. Hopefully they will do better than the g tablet with their android os overlay.

Should I stop thinking of all these tablets like it's a laptop, that the OS can be changed from Android, to Windows, to Linux? or is it basically the same as a normal PC?
Thanks Again

Would forget about windows but (a version of) Linux should be doable. Possibly CE6 but I don't think anyone is doing anything with it.

This is not an x86/x64 CPU so the OS has to support Tegra specifically.

These tablets have a different processor in them, so, no, they cannot run any Window OS except Microsoft's mobile OS, a.k.a. Windows Mobile, a.k.a. Windows CE, etc. These tablets are more akin to mobile phones than general purpose desktop/laptop computers.

[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.

[Q] windows 8 on Asus Transformer

Hi, I am not professional but as I read the new Win 8 released last night is compatible to ARM processors and transformers have ARM processor!
Is it possible to install Win 8 on a asus transformer.
please guide me
thank you

No, it's not possible. Windows 8 is not Windows RT. The processor would be compatible with RT, but the rest of the hardware is not, and you cannot buy Windows RT without the hardware it is preinstalled on anyway.

And Windows 8 RT needs an special locked boodloader (like the Ipad for example).
But maybe there will some day ab cracked windows 8 rt version wich run on devices without an secure bootloader. But my personal meening is, that the TF101 will never run windows rt. It is an old Android Tablet with old hardware and the Tf101 community shrinks.

Windows Phone 8

Hey,
Heard a rumor Win phone 8 can theoretically run on any arm-based smartphone
Do you think it will be possible porting it to our device?

Same answer as with Windows Phone 7.

surface RT and windows Mobile 10

Hello.
We all know surface RT tablets won't get Windows 10 :/
Have hou ever heard of anyone being able to Install win10 mobile on surface RT ?
There are a lot of functionnality That would be missed, but given the state of the Windows Store on w8 and w10, I would guess There would be a few gains.
Both being ARM OSes, wouldn't it work ?

yeah, but will MS invest in building and testing it for Surface RT/2? nope.
