Yes, it's possible via an emulator & windows ios or img file.
You can run windows 95,98,xp but it's laggy and hard to control the mouse.
Just bing it...

No i meant Windows that other mobile phones use like windows 8
No. Unless you buy the licensing for windows 7 and port it yourself without distribution then sure. But most likely no.

You will need to buy a copy of Windows and install it side by side with your Mac OSX via Bootcamp
Best option is to Google it, Apple have a lot of information on it (its very easy to do)
Parellels should work as well. Very similar to bootcamp, but it runs inside osx.

Not really as Bootcamp runs a Native version of Windows while Parelles is Emulation software

Yes, been using linux on the desktop for more than 10 years now. Mostly developing, mostly mathematical related. I've used different distro's, but the last 3 years I've settled on ubuntu as it is quick to set up and all software I need is supported for it.

I hardly play any games. But I'm sure that a lot of games will also run on linux.

There exists something like VMWare, that allows to run one os inside an other. This works both ways. What also is possible is to use wine in linux, with it you can run windows programs from your linux desktop. This works very well, I use it to manage my tracks in MapSource (a program for garmin sport gps).

It could be, there are alot of different ways to run windows/linux together, you will find what best works you. It is for instance also possible to install the two next to each other, then at boot you choose the os you want to boot into..
There exists a couple of different ubuntu forums. Normally you should get a lot of help. When I got into linux, there existed a linux user group (LUG) at my university. You might see if a LUG exists near you.
I use VMware workstation. It's good Its worth the money Im able to run Ubuntu on Windows using this.

Using linux for gaming, it's like using a F/A-18 Hornet, for transporting pets
and about the windows thing, you can even install WINDOWS on windows, if u know what i mean
haha totally agreed D4rKn3sSyS
i use and ubuntu and win7 they are different on many points but imo
on topic
if you want gaming and you like windows interface just stay on it
still if you want to try it ubuntu play alot of windows games (not fully) like no shaddows and directX things..
linux is nice but you need "terminal work" not like windows with ok buttons...
up to you always !

While technical there is no issue to run it on the mini. I think it is more useful to run this on a tablet. For example the eee pad transformer with dock. This 'transforms' your transformer into a netbook..
There is a method that involves setting up a vnc server. This works well, but does not run at the fastest possible speed (though, it is doable). XDA members are working on a native implementation. This would make tegra2 tablets dual boot. Seems like best of both worlds.
Playing and browsing in the sofa: android. Continuing your project on the go or in the library: linux desktop (for example ubuntu).

The beta... or probably not even that, probably an alpha, has been leaked.
Anyway to the OP, well you are using a very preliminary version, so bugs are expected...
And I hope you don't do any flashing on that PC, virtual machine or not.
Did you try running KIES in Comparability mode?
"samsung kies is not working on windows 8 build 7989 and keeps crashing, any ideas? im in the process of installing a windows 7 virtual machine right now."
Tell Samsung or maybe Microsoft to fix it.
Is there a readily available download location for windows 8 alpha?
That build is old and you shouldn't expect many programs to work on it.
Better to wait for a public RC release to use that.
the virtual machine program vmware wasnt even working with windows 8 so i just said the hell with it and re installed windows 7 and i will run windows 8 in a virtual machine i will wait for the public beta before i try anything again
I already having enough issues with KIES on a 64 bit OS. Let alone an alpha build of another Windows. Lol. good luck with that!
Well, KIES is not working properly on windows 7 or other OS so what do you expect?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
W8 Is not yet released so it won't work good at all. Try the compability mode if still doesn't work then must be something with w8.
tried, all compatibility mode giving same error
"Kies has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
guys. is there any way to connect my SAMSUNG SMARTPHONE to my computer?
i am using internet via tethering. i just barrow my friends 2G internet USB.
don't use win8 because if kies crash or odin when u installing the rom maybe u will have a hard brake because

Why are you using an old build? 8250 is out now the consumer preview why don't you download that & then try kies again?
Or set xp compatibility mode on kies.
The problem is .Net Framework 4.5 that won't work with kies

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/consumer-preview
Freely available for download there, buddy.
And it's a "CONSUMER PREVIEW" which means it hit Beta... Beta meaning it's considered the final UI look unless something terribly wrong is flagged. It's quite possible in "Beta mode" that things might not run. It does seem like a Windows 7 with a more polished UI though, so I'm thinking getting KIES to run is a minor issue.
I wonder if slmgr -rearm still works.
Dude he put up the above question in Aug..any way beta build is what I am using

Yup in consumer preview kies not supported . But windows 8 is giving good experience .
Very fast booting time and eye candy looks .

Ok first update to windows 8 CP build 8250 with all Net. Framework and updates installed.
Second run Kies in windows 7 compatibility mode and as administrator.
Good luck

Works fine for me, required the net framework installed but it did that automagically.

You can use Ubuntu on this device using these directions.

and using this App. for the installation guide

It is tested to work on both the 5.0 and 4.0.
I take none of the credit, I am just pointing out a cool "app."
is it for the us version or international??

Don't have time to try it out yet, but I do have a question about the driver support.
Since it is a full blown linux distro, does it come with usb audio driver, otg support and etc?

You do not install anything other than the one app. You run a few commands to start it. Then you open the app. to connect to the Ubuntu "server." it is actually running in the background like an app. would, but you can exit at any time. Read more on the link that I posted along in this thread.

While you can't directly install Windows 7/8 on android, if you have another device running Windows 7/8 such as your desktop computer or a laptop you can use a remote desktop client for android such as Android VNC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.androidVNC or LogmeIn Ignition https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logmein.ignitionpro.android to control your Windows 7/8 device from your Android device remotely.

It's almost impossible because you need to build a kernel with drivers necessary for your device and you won't be able to do that without kernel source code.
