I was wondering if anyone could put a windows computer onto a android. Maybe just a virtual computer on android that is not remote controlled. Is this possible to have this on an android phone, if it is, pleaz give me some suggestions.
when windows 8 rolls around maybe we'll be able to install that instead of android. the current windows versions just aren't compatible with ARM CPU's however.
Never will you be able to run any current version of windows. At this time you might be able to get Ubuntu working on your device with a ton of hacking. Windows is closed-source.

It doesn't take a ton of hacking. Not just to run an ARM image. Most devices support chroot with loopback devices. I have BackTrack 5 and Ubuntu 11.04 on my phone using these.

you would need an x86 emulator or some sort of virtualized x86 machine running on arm. it would suck... big time.
time would be better spent looking at what you need windows for and just making an android app that does that.
I've seen bochs port on iphone few years ago with win95 installed on it.
It was veeeeery slow. In my opinion is wasting of time to play with it
I would not say its impossible. But its just behind impossible. Til now no any android phone running with Microsoft platform. Even I am not seeing anything like this in coming future.

Not at all easily. The hardware doesn't meet the specs to run it. This is a really odd question, but not a bad one.

why not? Same screen resolution, processor is on the list. Not sure what specs that don't add up.
Had a hd7 and must say I would love a wp7 lte device.
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
Is it possible? Theoretically yeah, but so are lots of things no one does. Has someone asked this same question before? Yes, and they didn't get a better answer .
The biggest issue would be the drivers for the lte radio working and the interface layer for the radio. Other big issue is finding some one that cares enough about windows on it and had the knowledge to do it.
Will it happen? Probably not with this phone.

i believe its possible, theres a dual boot for it although 4g might not work. i dont see it not working for the tb
It's far easier to go from a windows device to linux than linux to windows, since those with the know how are used to dealing with migrating the windows device world to linux, but not linux to windows (since they generally don't want to do that).

Works fine except for installing packages, ubuntu version is old and no more mantained, and tried an upgrade procedure with update-manager -d and didn't work.
Yay, exactly what I have been waiting for. But for the life of me, I can't seem to download the file. Can you upload it to multiupload.com or something?
Will be testing this when i get home! What version of ubuntu is it running? Might even be able to use it for completely replacing my laptop. Need something i can program on, and this might be the ticket!

That may be the best idea for a Nexus tablet announcement I've ever heard. Announcing the first official Google Nexus Tablet, typically great specs, with a great dock/keyboard, and the announcement of an android app Android SDK.
This, plus some really nice plug & play style USB port usage would make for a killer announcement.
I would recommend VNC Viewer, it is $10 but it works much much better than android-vnc-viewer. About 2-3 times smoother than in the videos.

What does it take to get a version of eclipse compiled for arm?
Right now it errors saying "bash: ./eclipse: cannot execute binary file" (Google says that means you have the wrong version. ex 64 on 32 machine).

Lets not hold our breath on whether we'll get it or not.. Looks like they are looking for developers from the companies to get compatibility development going...
I wish someone would release an DIY on how to compile the ARM ubuntu for us to mod our webtops...
No freaking way.

I wish sometimes I had the technical know how to make these things... it's such a great idea, and if it was possible. I couldn't imagine the capabilities.... especially with things like the lapdock
this may just be a foolish hope, but I see many similarities to the current webtop, so the atrix might be one of the first devices with this feature. Who knows, maybe it will replace webtop under the upcoming ICS release

What you're saying is like saying I can run windows on my phone...
not sure if you understand the point of this?
What you refer to is VNC (virtual network computing)
this is native (as in ubuntu runs off the phone interacting with the kernel itself)
Hmmm so the Ubuntu Installer app in the market is VNC? I'm pretty sure it installed a legit Ubuntu 10.10 ARM optimized on your phone.

The one in the market will mount the Ubuntu image as loop device. Then, you can use VNC to remote into the GUI of the image. It works, but is not optimal.

i'm definitely not holding my breath. not a chance in hell moto will waste moneydelivering an upgrade of this caliber to a year old phone. better believe i won't be upgrading again unless that upgrade has this tho =D
unfortunately our best hope is in the community devs. and considering they're working on their own time and not getting paid, what kinda odds you figure? lol i'd donate time and money to this, btw i don't want a next gen atrix with a clunky ass 10lb lapdock. i like the one i have
So I read through this article> http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/barnes-and-noble-new-nook-in-september/ < and was wondering if any of the Windows gurus here at XDA has done any playing in this direction, or would be willing to try? Just think it would be interesting to try, and I'm not knowledgable enough to do it. I would be willing to learn if I could get some guidance. I realize this is mainly Android over here, but this does involve the Nook Tablet, so , What are your thoughts?
Windows 8 will not be released on any currently existing products. It might come to next-gen nooks, though.
From what I've read (I did not read your article) it seems unlikely that it will be able to be ported, but I've been wrong before.

I know we've got windows xp and such on some devices, but android is based on Linux, so it will never run natively it appears, but with the arm support it might be possible with a lot of work. Also I do see someone by sometime next year getting a universal win 8 emulator, but it'll take a lot of work, and be a while.

Sorry to say this but windows 8 RT aka the ARM version will be locked down to the device it is installed on and you wont be able to install in on another device. The UEFI will be locked as well. Now if I can find the web page that goes into more detail then I can remember it will shed some light on this.
Ok here is a page on UEFI http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/22/protecting-the-pre-os-environment-with-uefi.aspx and microsoft will have all that manadatory on arm but be more open on x86 so that people can still use linux and older versions of windows on x86 systems
Hey, im about 50% done getting the metro ui on top of ICS. I got the home, back,and recent app list, the notification, volume, settings and everything themed, next im adding the live tiles and such probably tonight, the ill upload the .zip and teach everyone how to add it.

windows phone gets very boring very quick.
I owned one before, after about a week you'd regret it.
My last phone was a focus and I liked it very much. Can get boring, I agree... but that's why I'm interested to do it in here so I can go back to Jb when/if I want to.
I saw the one tutorial for basically losing the phone with apps to fully recreate win 8, but I'm sure I'll just be left with a buggy base android

The processor in the note isn't compatible with windows OS. Supposedly Microsoft will publish a version that will work with this processor.
Run launcher 8 that's the closest you will get. Quite nice. Using it now.
