Hai guys
got a silly question - I was posting here and i was thinking, if thats possible (most likely if proper drivers available), and if somebody tried that already - especially considering that the Atrix has hardware specs like a netbook with SSD.
comments?
I mean that would be the ultimate show-off, plug your Atrix into a standard desktop Monitor, and windows 7 Boots up!!!!
cheers

You could never run the full OS of Windows 7, it is made for x86/x64.
The Atrix is ARM. The only Windows 7-series OS that COULD work is Windows Embedded Compact 7. It is the latest evolution of Windows CE. Any desktop windows apps would need to be ported to this OS to work anyway.

So I have seen videos on YouTube that have the hd2 running Ubuntu. Is there a way to run windows 7 (not windows mobile 7) or XP and use a USB hub to plug in a keyboard and mouse? This would be insanely awesome! Now YouTube also has two videos running windows 7 but I have a feeling they are either themes or remote desktop.
Win7...WTF...
OK, i don't know the videos, but i'm really thinking this is a fake.
I've heard rumours about people get win95 running (VM/emulator?) and this
is hard to belive.
But Windows 7 is not beliveable.
I shocked my friend with XP on my HD2, but truely it was only
the "Remote-Desktop".
And i think you're right, this is what's shown in this videos.
PS: with some tunings you can play sound's
and videos through the RDP-con. (via Wlan) and this looks still
awesome.
You're better off getting Ubuntu to run on the HD2, which is already possible. Windows 7's touch-friendly features are also pretty demanding. It would be a bit overwhelming, even for something with the HD2's specs.

win95 working , tested myself , but w7 .... i don't think so
I had Win95 on mine too......I just don't think the HD2 can handle the standalone PC version on Win7. Too make fake videos on youtube....probably this is one of them
windows 7 32 bit would melt the battery the demand for power would mean you could not have it unplugged at all im also sure you would need a big memory card cuase windows 7 needs at least 2gb ram to run and probably a good 5 gb of hard drive space wich would probably mean mutiple partinions on the sd card and thats just to start
I mostly agree but how is it that my netbook with 1gb of ram runs win7 just fine. (I did installed full 32bit)
Space I don't think is an issue, what about the XP phone? There are other phones and mini tablets that run windows and do fine. Maybe a modded version with certain resolution and bigger start button ect. Granted you can't run Photoshop but maybe open office or basic tasks.

Well honestly u cant compare netbook and HD2. Why? Because the CPUs got different architectures and that mean 1GHz in netbook isnt the same as 1GHz in HD2. Other thing is memory u got 1GB and HD2 512MB, well I guess for win 7 start, it would be enough, but still u have to boot the system and that is gona take a lot time. Not worth it, better remote access.
But there are already Windows 7 with tuch support on laptops because some laptops support touch screen on theirs LCD
Windows Vista/7 does not support the ARM processors used in mobile phones as they are not x86 devices. A netbook does use a x86 variant as a cpu and therefore can run any flavor of windows up to and including Windows 7
Well, win95 and 98 works fine on my touch pro and this is not a fake, but not really usefull and takes long time to boot, do not expect playing original price of persia on your phone. I have tried a great heroes of might and magic boot img file that has a minimalised version of win95 with touchscreen drivers, that do not have any UI and just loads the game. I wonder if anyone could possibly take a look at that file and say what files should be extracter in order to add touchscreen support to normal windows images? XP would be nice, but don't forget that emulator always runs MUCH slower than original system, so...
When the OP says they have seen "W7" on the hd2...... I think they are confusing "Windows 7" with "Windows compact embedded 7".........
its not a fake and its not remote desktop..
cotulla posted a video of this a while ago...........
ok so i recently seen a video of the galaxy tab running windows 7 why cant we ? just wondering

Why would you want to and this belongs in q&a, general or heck even in the Galaxy Tab forum...

Windows NT is what most of the Windows versions that we care about today are based from, including XP and 7. Windows NT supports the x86 and other processor architectures. Unless we can get an x86 emulator, we will NEVER EVER see Windows 7 running on an ARM processor. It is also closed-source, so we can't get the source code to compile to ARM. And the documentation for the kernel and other components of Windows are secretly kept somewhere at Redmond, so even if we get the source, it will be an infinite pain to get everything working for this new architecture (things like HAL, hardware abstraction layer, which is specifically for PC hardware and who Windows depends on heavily). I can't begin to explain everything that will need to be magically fixed in order to get working. Windows 7, or any other Windows version, will never work on a platform that it was not intended to work on (unless, we do get a virtual machine and some hardware compatibility)
Windows CE will be much easier to port since it was intended for mobile ARM computers. If this does happen, we can get Windows Mobile working. But all of this crap is completely non-public, so keep dreaming.
*I probably didn't get everything in this post correct (like the part about HAL) but the conclusion is completely correct. Basically Windows 7 will never reach a device unless it's a PC.
You mean the actual OS or just the theme? There are Windows 7 themes already for Android. And yeah, why would you wanna bother putting Windows on an Android device?
o cool like the title said just a thought but why i would want it on our device is becuase it looked cool running on the tab so and i like windows so i would probably enjoy it

thanks for all of this info i didnt understand lol becuase im not really familure with this type of stuff but from your post what is windows ce? i would really enjow anykind of windows on my device really i just said windows 7 becuase i saw the video thanks for the reply
Dude, seriously you should've just bought a Windows phone like an HD2 or something if you like windows that much.
I mean personally to me, the whole point of buying an android phone is to NOT have a Windows OS or even a Windows GUI..........just sayin.

Nope I love android but what I was saying and suggesting is having both systems running and can switch back and fourth not saying I like windows phones more than android just seeing if it or anything like it,is possible
The best phone in the world

maybe it is just me, but dual-booting was still cool in 1999, not anymore.
Stick to one OS on the device, be it a PC or a phone.
Last time I cared for Windows was again 1999 when I used UPS software to send the packages, and wished it was upgraded from Windows 3.1 to at least Windows 95 - and then I went to continue my education, and it was the end of the windows era for me
If you want to use both windows and android, why not get an HD2 and have it dual boot?
I'm pretty sure if you saw Windows 7 on the tab then it was probably some kind of remote access software, and not running natively
This may sound like a weird question, but I am just curious to know if it is possible to install windows 7, or xp on Galaxy tab 10.1. As my limited knowledge about computers tells me, GT is essentially a computer with a cpu and ram and a kind of hard drive, so theoretically at least, it seems to me that it should be possible to install windows on the tablet.

Welcome to the forums. The answer is no. Windows won't run on the chip that's in the tablet (it's called ARM architecture; same reason windows won't run on a cellphone). I've heard rumors that windows 8 may be possible at some point.
I have Windows 7 on my Tab 10 so yes you can use Windows 7.

You have the install disc sitting on your Tab?
Seriously, though. That sounds like horse**** from the same guy who claims to have played with Kal-el devices. Let's see a video.
How's this?
Splashtop HD running my home computer from work.

Excuse the fumbling. It's hard to work the screen looking at the phone screen. And I should mention that we only have an 802.11g connection here at work.
Thank you Jay Evans for proving them wrong.
Well, holy hell! That means I have OS X Lion running on my Tab.
Thank you for the replies. Although I understand that some of us here might be in a rather humorous mood, but just to clarify: my question was not about remote desktops. I still think there has to be a way to have windows running on GT. Another question in this regard is about virtual machines. Is there any kind of VM available for honeycomb tablets?
While it might be possible you wouldn't enjoy the results. Especialy if you want to run actual programs on it. It would be as slow as molassas and suck the battery dry in no time.
Better to buy a Win 7 tablet and wait for something like Bluestacks to run Android or wait for the ARM version of Win 8.
It won't happen, Windows is based off x86 architecture and Android Tablets and phones are based off of ARM architecture, Windows 8 will have support for ARM though, so wait a year
While the answer to your question is still 'no', it is possible to run Windows 95 or 98 using emulators. There is a QEMU port for Android ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6661598 ) that does it, and I've also heard that you can install windows using AnDosBox.
hi there i've got an old Fujitsu Siemens Stylistic Tablet, originally ran Windows 2000 & can handle XP (albeit slowly) .. Its got a Pentium III and 512MB Ram
was just wondering if is possible to run android on this and bring back some life to it....
any help would be appreciated ... thanks
maybe you would rather try meego or just plain linux?
i'll give MeeGo a go haven't tried that before, thanks. tried ubuntu already but it wouldn't work, supposedly an earlier version of SUSE might work but i'd prefer something a bit more modern and android if at all possible....
Your best bet would be Windows 8, try installing the developer version and see.
well windows 8 would definitely not work, we're talking about a 10 year old tablet here...

On a P3? wtf?
I just want to ask you if, now that the bootloader can be unlocked, there are some possibilities to have win on this tablet... all the version are acceptable.. (2000 and upper) if there's not an emulator, are there chance of do it in the near future?
I've seen the page where is explained how to install 2000/XP on the htc evo3D, could it work also whit the transformer?
Your best hope is for Windows 8 which will support ARM processors. All windows version currently available do not support ARM. Also once windows 8 comes out it will require some development to get it to work.
You can have Windows 3.1 running on it now with DOSbox
But I really don't think that any version of Windows will ever work on the TP (although with XDA devs who knows?). The only Arm-based windows available are Windows CE and Windows 8. CE will never work outside of emulators, and MS has said themselves that they will not be supporting any kind of x86/64 emulators in order to run the 99% of Win software available today. So you will be stuck with what software devs decide to port or write from scratch.
Also, MS has said that it will not be selling licenses to end users. They will only be released on hardware. Doesn't mean someone won't pull it off of there and tweak it, but it is not going to be available like XP/ 7 is.
What do you need windows for that you can't do on Android or Ubuntu?
