Microsoft has made windows 10 S for arm devices. Do you guys think it would be possible to get windows 10 S on this device?

We are a small company looking to do some inhouse programming using tablets. Initially we were going to move forward on an Android Honeycomb platform because we have only Java developers here. But it looks like we can't get rugged tablets for that platform. There seem to be a lot more rugged tablets that are Windows based.
Initially I thought that we would have to use C# /.Net to code for native applications for the Windows tablets (and Windows specific API). But a colleague of mine thought we could use Java to build native applications on the Windows tablets also. Is this true? Can I use Java to build applications that can be deployed both to the Windows tablets and the Honeycombs? Our applications will also use GPS location based services. Any feedback/pointers would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.
What devices are you talking about? Phones (running Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Phone 7) or tablets (like the iPad, currently running Windows 7 and in the future Windows 8)?
Most of Windows-based tablets are based in just normal Windows computers on x86 processor. Only very few are Windows CE-based.
On Windows XP/7 tablet PCs you can write in Java without any problem. I am not sure about GPS usage, but it can be read using JNI or just serial port. You can have some common classes/class libraries for Windows and Android, but the device logic and UI needs to be specific (and the JVM is different - Sun JVM vs. Dalvik).
On Windows 8 with "Metro", however, there is no sign yet you can develop WinRT apps using Java.
I am talking about Windows 7 tablets (and Windows 8 in future)
If you want create an app you need C# and silverlight

Well for Windows 7 you can develop using more or less whatever you prefer since there are no differences between the OS on the desktop and a tablet.
So yes, you can use Java for Windows 7.
There is some API for Location services in Windows 7 however I don't know the details about this.
I also don't know much about Android, but if you can develop for Android in Java you can at least share some code between the Windows 7 and Android version of your software.
Windows 8 will introduce a new kind of app (metro-style app) and those apps can only be written in HTML5 and Javascript or C#/VB.Net/C++/C and XAML.
However, users will still be able to use your Java Apps on Windows 8.
so it looks like Windows 7 is like a windows 7 PC. I can't find any specific books on amazon, so I do apologize if my questions are stupid.
1) Can I develop a Java application similar to that of a desktop and deploy the EAR/WAR file to the windows 7 tablet? if so, does the tablet have an inbuilt web server type application (websphere, tomcat) to serve pages? if not, will the app be loaded on a remote server and be accessed via a browser? In this case the tablet will need an internet connection all the time, correct?
Thanks again.
A Windows 7 Tablet is basically just running the desktop version of Windows 7 so you can do anything with the tablet that you could do with a Windows 7 desktop machine.
Note that Windows Phone 7 is an entirely different operating system that's barely connected.
AS OF 11/02/2012 THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS YET. THIS IS JUST TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Well this topic has bound to come up as soon as it was announced Running Windows RT on Android devices.
What boundaries are there?
Limitations?
The first thing that comes to mind (obvious but....) are drivers. Can someone confirm that Windows RT supports mobile radios?
Yup, its supports mobile radios.....
Something related would be WP8 drivers on WRT...........
whats keeping us from just pulling the software and burning it as a bin to a usb drive then booting it on an android
Hi guys!
As you, I'm trying to port Windows RT to Android.
There are good possibilities, but I haven't got a ISO of Windows RT and a Android tablet .
I hope to find a iso as soon as possible.
Ciao, Marocco2

Hey, what are you talking about?? Windows RT isn't in ISO form. because it is a flashable OS, it's not like Windows 8 or any other desktop OS, but like Windows Phone or Windows Mobile. Maybe flashing WinRT to system with Linux can be possible later, but not now.
I was on the runescape site nd its open source could anyone port it btw It is not java or opengl should be easy I would do but I have no windows 8 macines in my house if you can I much apricate it
use windows 8 before, but it is make me not comfotable, so i am using windows 7 now,
but there's no different for windows 8 to windows 7, excpet the Metro UI
How can i get windows rt on my android tablet. I have been searching around and keep coming up with this answer, " Windows 8 can't run on an android tablet because it is designed for x64/x86 devices, not arm based devices." Obviously those other people did not read my question properly or they just haven't done their research on the windows rt. I am asking about windows rt, which was designed to run on arm based devices. So theoretically you could switch from android to windows as long as you are comfortable with the limitations of windows rt. My problem is that i don't know where to get windows rt let alone install it onto my tablet. Anyone know how? If not Are there any custom roms that are designed to function like a windows tablet?
I was wondering if it is possible to install a version of windows 10 on an android device, i read that it is not compatible with arm devices, only with intel ones, and i got a tablet with an intel based processor, so i want to install windows 10 on it
You can install it like normal through a USB but touch wont work and other stuff will be broken. In reality its rather pointless unless the device is windows 10 and Android bootable out of the factory (It came that way with windows 10 and android). Feel free to google "Windows 10 install guide on android device/tablet" and plenty of options will come up. Enjoy
