That is impossible. Windows 7 only runs in x86 and x64 processors, not ARM ones like in Sony Tablet S.
MAYBE it will be feasible to install Windows 8 RT in the future IF Sony unlocks the bootloader AND Microsoft allows instalation in non-sanctioned tablets.
(fat chance of any of them happening).
Still, I actually use Windows 7 in my Sony Tablet S every day. I use a program called Splashtop (special 5-min version for Sony in Google Play) that mirrors the screen of a Win7 machine. Works pretty well, I can even watch videos in it, close to real time.

As you alluded to, that is definitely NOT going to happen.
Microsoft have already stated that Windows 8 RT will not be publicly released, will only be available to OEMs and will not be backported to current hardware. Even if it was, drivers for the Sony's quite unique hardware set are definitely not going to be easily available.
Just to clear it up for everyone.

I have a spare al-cheapo Toshiba netbook that I bought on Black Friday.
($143 + 5 hours of waiting in 27-degree temp) It came with Windows 7
but I managed to get rid of it and install a slimmed-down Windows XP.
The Windows XP OS only takes up 1.3GB of hard drive space, since all
the non-essential junk were all taken out one by one.
now that I have Android running fairly smoothly on my Touchpad, I can't
help but wonder.... is it possible to run Windows XP on the Touchpad?
thanks!
No, XP needs an Intel / AMD processor, and will not run on an ARM processor as in the Touchpad.
Win 7 > Win XP
I wholeheartedly agree that Win7>WinXP and that WinXP needs x86 chip architecture (as opposed to the ARM architecture in the touchpad). However, you can use splashtop remote desktop to access your netbook remotely through the touchpad. You install it on your netbook then you download the app on your touchpad. The app is 5 bucks through the market, but if you hurry you can get it for free through getjar (kinda like the amazon app store, google it).
as they told you, winxip and win7 require an x86 architeture while touchpad's is ARM, probably we will be able to run win8 when they will release the arm compiled version (in late 2012?)
Up until now Windows has been x86/64 based. Windows 8 will be arm based so there is hope, but the touchpad does make a good remote desktop client since the 1024*768 resolution is commonly used in windows

Got the getjar app but still cannot find splashtop app! I've tried different devices just in case this is filtered by compatible devices but still nothing.
Any ideas? Also what device do you have it set to use?
:I've hit thanks anyway for the response:
Once u install the application, just use your browser.

Hey man, I am glad I have been able to help. I am not a dev, so I try to help wherever I can. I purchased it when it came out for WebOS (before we had android) and really liked it. I was unaware that it was an old version (I have not used it yet since I got it from getjar), but either way, crazy good app that is very useful
Hello I'd like to know if there will be any chance to make Windows RT run on our desired phone I love android, but I like the look of Windows phones and Win RT too.

You could try a windows launcher, have you tried Launcher 7?
Yes I have tried it but I'd like to have full win rt, if it can't be ported it's not a big problem, i just would like to try it
not sure if our bootloader can support windows if primarily made for android/linux.
Is there any any possibility io run system windows os application in android???

I think there will be always a desire to run others os app on the phone. Owners of windows phone will want to run android apps and owners of android will want to run win apps... I had a Diamond2 few years ago who has win 6.5 and I remebered I did many tries to run android 1.6 on it.
Oh well,
i can understand the curiosity, but hoping for ubuntu, firefox os would be far more realistic then windows phone. We hardly have the cm10.1, anything else is a dream for now.
but there is no wrong in wishing.
Hi all,
this may be a silly question, and i apologise if its already been asked....
so on my Windows 7 laptop, i want to run some old programs...i use the Windows XP virtual machine feature....
is there an equivalent app for ANDROID that i can install on my HDX8.9 that would effectively allow me to run a stock rom 'inside' the virtual machine?
...and obviously get full play access ....or there would be little point.
obivously there would most likely be performance issues etc. and you are running and O/S within an O/S which some may find confusing or cumbersome.
just a thought....anyone know?
regards
Dale
Safestrap I believe. 13.3.1 or 14. You have your original OS and then allow you to create another Android OS(kinda).
I think I missed the whole idea you were getting at...

There is a way to mount linux in a rooted device- without actually installing it. Oracle might have worked around that- but the problem with a virtual machine is they are not actually installed. Something as easy to run as android could work- but seriously, that could work.

Your only option is an emulator, since windows runs on x86 and kindle has arm. Snapdragon 800 might be powerfull enough to emulate a windows xp, but be prepaired for serious perfomance issues. You should use the oldest version of windows that your software runs on. But for native android apps use 1mobile market.
Thanks all for the responses....just to clarify, what I was trying to ask is is there an app for android like the Virtual PC app on Windows that runs Android.....so I would be running a sandboxed android on android lol, kinda hoping for an alternative solution to the current root crisis....I.e. I have no root and its really frustrating that the awesome hardware in my HDX is crippled by not being able to access the play store....never mind the fact I can't load additional keyboards or wallpapers etc.

I'm sure you could run it in chroot, you'd have to create a bash script to boot it

Can we install Windows 10 on the S7/S7+?
LMFAO
Please tell me you're kidding?
Yes we can.
FAQ
It's not as stupid of a question as you guys make it seem. Windows 10 ARM version exists (but there is no way to get a legal license and/or installation media for it) for the Surface Pro X and a few other devices. Of course there would most likely be no drivers, but in theory Win 10 COULD be possibly.. but yea in reality it's not at the moment.
Is anybody able to use a windows emulator? I tried Linux on it but wondering if there's a better way to use Windows apps if I need to other than remoting into my PC

I've found a few solutions to this. Ibochs works but is basically unusable. TeamViewer allows you to wake up your home PC and control it. This works surprisingly well if you have a good connection. Microsoft also has an app called Azure that lets you use a virtual desktop for less than $.01/hr if you can't wake up your home PC over ip for some reason
I'm going to go out on a limb here and use a throwback analogy... Much like a free ride from a partner with an STD... Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should... LOL
