Is it at all possible for the Windows 8 os to be ported to our android devices? Don't hate please..just a noob being a noob

Definitely not the full version but possibly RT.RT is the windows 8 version that runs on ARM processors.
Would be an interesting dual boot
Like posted above, the full version of Windows 8 is not meant for the ARM architecture that Android phones use, but RT (found on the RT Surface Tablet) is.

It would still need a custom kernel and drivers, which seeing windows rt is very locked down I doubt it will happen.

Quick question guys. Purely out of interest trying to get some opinions on what other devs like to use out of winxp or win7 apart from Linux obviously
Thanks

I always use Windows 7, usually with Cygwin because most tools I [attempt to] use are Linux only.. But only if I'm too lazy to use Linux. Linux is always a ****lot faster

window 7 .. and put Ubuntu 11.04
Thought so. Linux is def so much faster for big batch scripts and stuff compared to cygwin lol good for the odd job though

I use win7 it's much faster than xp, but only for gaming. for programming i use ubuntu.
Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.10 LTS 64-bit FTW

i figured that the galaxy S III is a storng quad core device so can it run windows?
Does Microsoft support the phone? CPU, chipset, drivers? If yes then you can.

No, because windows is closed source and xp/7 even has no arm support, but you can run linux (I.e. ubuntu on it).

Its like your search engine OP it does not work .

I'm a passer-by... Just ignore me..
No madness. Even I did Google few months earlier. The answer is big no because MS Os is a closed source. If it wasn't xda developers would be the first hunter.

I wish I could experience the wp7 or wp8 in this beast. Simply for fun.those animation effects and all really eye appealing. HTC hd2 able to run both. But it's a wp phone. Hope someday someone brings a port!! Though hopes not much up!!

None, you have a NETbook.
i can suggest you Lubuntu, it is light version of ubuntu, i use it for kernel compiling on my very old laptop

If you try to compile anything 4.0+ your going to have a bad time. unless you have 4 gig ram, not even GB.
I have added some specs on OP

I am downloading Lubuntu i expect that it will be more smooth than others

If you are trying to compile, its not going to matter, your specs are too low.

+1 Netbooks are intended for nothing more than browsing the web. To try to make it run some resource-intensive function is askimg for trouble. If even just consider that Windows has to be stripped down just to make it work right, you should realize that you're computer isn't quite up to the job.

I am only compiling kernels on my laptop and it takes at least 15 minutes on my celeron 1.86 GHz and 1 gig RAM. Compiling whole android system on a netbook is very bad idea, it takes a lot of CPU power and Intel Atom is not designed to work on high loads.
Thank you for advices

I know this is an old post, but i have a cheap 11.6inch laptop/netbook that came with 4gb of single channel ddr3 ram and a 320gb hdd, put 8gb of ram and a 480gb sandisk ssd in even though it only has sata 2 and it runs fine
Intel n2840 dual core celeron, 1mb cache. (2.16ghz and 2.58ghz boost)
Very low power it is fanless, acer aspire e3-112.
Compiles cm12.1 fine for my n9005, only takes half an hour
Edit -
I use arch as my primary, but use xubuntu 15.10 to build with. Did have some problems dual booting with grub and uefi but managed to sort it out.
Great cheap setup with really good battery life, 11.6inch 1366x768 screen.
Has anyone tried using the install instructions as a guide for installing Ubuntu on the nexus 10? If so, how much work will it take to get a bootable Ubuntu on our device? Ubuntu definitely supports our CPU, as it is on a Samsung chromebook that has the same processor. Sorry to junk up the forums, but I'd really like some info on the possibility of this happening.
EDIT: they also share the same quad core GPU. I really don't see why Ubuntu won't run on this out of the box...

I believe there are a few devs looking into it at the moment. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012294
I've seen this. It seems no one has updated in a while, so I was assuming it was forgotten.
I was also thinking maybe chrubuntu would be the logical place to start, because that is an alpha that is working already on the chromebook.

Maybe someone will implement a eay (if it's possible) for dual boot of android and ubuntu ? Because i'm using my device for test my app, and i eould try ubuntu too!

Just wait for the 21st of February.
It will definetely be possible on nexus devices but I'm not sure about others.

The 21 will be release and ok. But i would have both os on the same device, like a dual boot on pc

He means that we will see the exact answers after release. So just be patient.
View sonic make the Viewpad 10 pro which is dual OS Android & Windows 7. I don't see why someone wouldn't design an Android / Ubuntu tab.... It would be easier to run and keep up to date.

I guess, it will be also possible to run Ubuntu inside chroot. But instead of vnc we should use native xserver inputs and ouputs (if ubuntu for phones will run xorg, there are rumors that canonical made a new display server).
I got ubuntu running in a setup like this on a SGS2 pretty good (xserver takes touchevents from /dev/input/event2 and draws on framebuffer). But i have some problems with the drivers, touch especially (using multitouch driver because evdev crashes -> can't rotate -> only useable in portrait-mode )

But because Canonical said Ubuntu can run from an Androidkernel, this problems may be fixed already (for the choosen nexus handset at least)
