Agreed. Ridiculous proposition!!
The closest you can get to Vista is Remote Desktop.
which could work pretty well with HSDPA and a DataFlat

Eris and Windows 7 Drivers....

Believe it or not there are actually a lot of people that don't know this but, if you want to get Windows 7 to recognize your device without having to install SDK or manually installing drivers or you feel like you're just stuck. Go to this site, http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php download and install PDAnet and it will fix your drivers issues !! Just wanted to post a topic about this because I've had quite a few people ask me about getting drivers for HTC to work with Windows 7.
i pulled the driver out of the install for htc sync. it is a zip file posted here: http://www.multiupload.com/C2VKYM1RDH
Note: this is a file to extract on your computer in order to point your windows 7 search for drivers to the correct folder. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH IT
it worked for me. if it doesn't work for you, let me know and i will pull it.
You can also download the driver files from htc http://developer.htc.com/ thats what i use

Yea pretty much just used HTC Sync. Never had an issue on either of my Win7 PCs.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying I myself am having problems with the drivers. Just have had a lot of people ask me about them over time and figured I would tell them about installing PDAnet as a little workaround.
I don't remember ever doing anything except plugging my Eris in and letting Win7 find drivers.

I'm guessing you're the one who recommended that link in another thread, that I thanked you for. I'm a "latest version hound", so I was very happy to find that file at the bottom of the list at that link that has just the very latest HTC drivers alone, no HTC Sync, and that both the ADB and the RNDIS drivers were updated in October or so. Probably won't make any practical difference, but it's nice to be updated.

I work on people's computers for a living, so I install Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit, quite a lot (several times a week). I believe you. I just have to say that Windows 7 most definitely (not even with SP1, which I'm using) still doesn't include any of the Android drivers.
I don't recall if Windows/Microsoft Update might have the drivers, so that if you have Windows 7 set to look online for drivers it might've found them there. I'm guessing that might've been how your Windows 7 retrieved the drivers. Either that or you didn't realize or remember that you had already installed HTC Sync or something else which included them.
This isn't a flame or anything, so I hope it doesn't appear to be.
I will add that I avoid drivers coming from Microsoft Update except as a last alternative, since they are normally not up to date, and/or crippled versions of the full driver installations from the original manufacturers.

This is all I did, and I did not have to search online for them, I plug my phone into 3 different Win 7 machines regularly.

Maybe we're talking about two different things. If you're only referring to mounting the phone as a USB storage, then I think that'll work without any special drivers; as far as Windows is concerned, it's just another thumb drive.
It's for using ADB or any Windows software which uses ADB that requires the drivers which are not included in Windows 7. Also for tethering, which is a separate driver than the one for ADB. http://developer.htc.com/ at the bottom of the list has an updated zip with drivers dated from October or November. It includes drivers for both ADB and RDNIS (used for tethering) for Windows XP, Vista, and 7; 32 and 64-bit in the cases of Vista and 7. It doesn't include drivers for 64-bit XP, but that should be so much even more rarer now than it was even when before Vista came out.
No idea what all drivers PDANet includes. As an OEM, I always go straight to the manufacturer for drivers. Not always user friendly for the average user, but if you know how to navigate around the different manufacturer's websites, then you always wind up with the most up to date, bug-free and feature-full driver.
Didn't mean for this post to turn in to "who has the better way to get drivers." This was simply a post for a little tip that a lot of people don't know about. No need for everyone to list where they get drivers from and why it's better than installing PDAnet. No offense to some of you, I know you're just stating your opinion. However, this was just a tip for some users who have tried windows update and htc sync and the htc site itself.

I hope you weren't offended by me, either, and I apologize that I continued to lead the thread off topic since I felt strongly about clearing up what drivers Windows does and doesn't include, since I deal with that every day. For the record, I have no issue at all with recommending anything, including installing anything as relatively innocuous as PDANet, to help people, in order to make things easier for people.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 [Mango] ROM for Galaxy SII

Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

That's because the HD2 has the same specs as the Desire HD (android) and HD7 (WP7)...

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

Hey NOOB, I was thinking the other day about why your MIUI guide isn't stickied yet. What would it take to get that done because there is a ton of useful info in there and I would hate for it to get buried 3 or 4 pages down, even though no one reads stickies anymore.
Also, I an going to write up a Battery Saving guide and could use your help with CM7/MIUI tweaks. I will write up a mock up this weekend. PM me with any thoughts.
Thanks. Actually, I was wondering that the other day as well. I'm just not sure how I would go by doing it...
A Battery Saving Guide is an awesome idea! And I would be privileged to help in the making of it. If you could, PM me the mock up and I'll see if there is anything that could be added. However, knowing your knowledge on battery life I'm not sure how much I will be able to add to it
I'll hit you up on Saturday or Sunday night. I need your 2.3.x kernel knowledge. I got all the 2.2 ROMs and kernels down, just not the 2.3's too much.
Also I put a note in your guide to hopefully get the mods to look at it to at least see if it is stickable.
Sorry for the hijack, but View attachment 801941
Found this the other day too. It is actually my screen background at work View attachment 801942
