I've only tried the 32-bit beta on a Venue 8 Pro. Minus some graphical glitches in some places, it performs much better than any other Android virtualization software I've tried. However, it won't connect to the internet and there's no navbar (minus some button that opens recent apps at the bottom), which makes it extremely unusable. Besides that, it's amazing. If the later betas fix these issues then I'll buy the full version.

I tested DuOS 32-Bit on my Dell Venue 8 Pro recently. Here are my findings:
1.) I tried installing this on my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet running Windows 8.1 32-bit edition but on run it says "Unknow Exception occured (-1027). Kindly contact support for help." I've tried running as an Administrator and removing/re-installing with no success. I submitted a bug report about this issue and several days later they responded with an updated version which fixed this issue for me.
2.) DuOS doens't run full screen on devices with less than 3GB of RAM, there's a work-around by editing the config.xml as described here (Note: running the DuOS Configuration Tool and saving changes will revert the full screen work-around) :
http://amiduos.com/support/knowledg...is-not-launching-in-full-screen-mode-on-my-pc
3.) The navigation bar was also just a black strip for me, I'm submitting a bug report about it now.
Two solution exists:
A.) Set the dpi to 120 via the DuOS configuration tool or by editing the config.xml.
B.) Use an app to provide on screen home/back/menu functions:
Virtual Button Bar (I tested using the trial version):
Trial: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.virtualbuttonbartrial
Full Version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.virtualbuttonbar
Button Savior (I've only tested the root version):
Root Version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Non-Root Version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot
4.) Internet access works fine for me but doesn't always auto connect. It's not intuitive but sometimes you have to go to settings within your Android virtual machine and in the WiFi portion manually connect to one of the listed networks.
5.) My Dell Venue 8 Pro 32GB has limited disk space free and DuOS seems to refuse to start if I have less than 1GB disk space free, another frustration is that DuOS seems to create massive log files in "C:\ProgramData\AMI\DuOS\DuOS\Logs" (512MB worth when I last checked). Deleting these log files seems to have no ill effect.
6.) Doesn't seem to support Venue 8 Pro's built in accelerometer so I have to use DuOS's on screen rotate button to use apps/games in portrait mode.
7.) The camera app doesn't support Venue 8 Pro's built-in camera.
8.) DuOS tends to lockup/freeze when waking up the Venue 8 Pro from sleep (via the power button).

You can simply use copy paste for copying text from windows to android(DuOS-m).
For word(or other documents) files use shared folders, it will allow you to access word file from android.

go to setting\devices\duos configuration tool under Duos and you can select the folders that will be shared between duos and windows.... just put any files onto those folders and it will be available under both OS. you can put apks there and install manually under Duos...

I installed this on a Voyo Winpad A1 Mini (Chinese Tablet, similar to a Dell Venue Pro 8). Installed without problems and GAPPS also works. I haven't tested Other features like the cameras but the Touchscreen responds smoothly and I could install application without problems.
By default it will launch on a Window but you can enable the Full screen mode in the configuration tool and works correctly.

chrome can install ,but once opened, it closes immediately
same with photoshop express
vsco cam is not compatible. installing apk says "App not installed". Trick using Market App Helper, it says "Missing shared library" when installing.
My No.1 required app is vsco cam, how unfortunate

I have an ASUS TF300T tablet that ran regular Android for about 1 1/2 yrs then I rooted and reflashed with cyanogen..
Currently I am on my HP Spectre x2 which folds into a tablet. Works pretty good that way.
I loaded AMIDuOS lollypop yesterday and found it runs as good as my ASUS - so far..
Only problem I'm having is loading Play Store.
Haven't tried the HP in tablet form running DuOS yet- - but will soon.....
