It appears so!!
click here!!
Not released (and probably won't be for some time).
Probably a Windows 8 alpha copy.
Pretty cool knowing its been compiled to work on the tegra 2 though.
Also posted this to Rootzwiki, want to see some discussion on this, pretty exciting, the Touchpad could turn out to be on the best purchases i've ever made.
http://www.winrumors.com/hp-testing-windows-8-on-touchpad-devices/
HP is testing Microsoft’s Windows 8 developer preview on its TouchPad devices, according to reports.
HP announced in August that it plans to discontinue its TouchPad and pre phones and halt all further webOS device development. The announcement came less than two months after the TouchPad went on sale and sees HP contemplating licensing webOS to third party vendors. HP’s extermination of its TouchPad was undeniably quick but hardly surprising. The device had struggled to sell and some reports suggest that American retail giant Best Buy took delivery of around 270,000 units and only sold around 25,000 of their stock.
Speculation that HP could offer Windows 8 on its existing TouchPad form factor has emerged after Fox News anchor Clayton Morris suggested on his blog on Friday that HP is busy with proof of concept work testing Windows 8 on TouchPad hardware. Morris’ sources hint that HP could be considering a revival of the devices with Windows 8 in mind. HP is currently building additional devices for a second round of fire sales, the company has yet to confirm when they will be made available. Morris also says that the TouchPad and WebOS workers at HP haven’t been made redudant yet. Morris speculates that HTC, LG, Nikon and Amazon are all interested in purchasing HP’s WebOS software.
HP had grand plans to offer webOS on its PC devices, a scenario directed towards Microsoft independence. HP has seemingly scrapped this plan and appears to be on the brink of spinning off its Personal Systems Group (PSG). The group is responsible for consumer and business PCs and accessories along with digital entertainment devices. A sell off would follow a similar approach to IBM who sold its PC division to China-based Lenovo Group in late 2004. The sale would allow HP to focus on its cloud computing and server businesses. HP ships the largest amount of PCs worldwide so any potential sale of that business will drum up significant attention. HP is also rumored to be preparing a Windows 8 tablet for Q3, 2012, alongside offerings from Dell and other hardware vendors.

I guess I didn't do my due diligence... I looked around at some of the other post about Windows 8 but they didn't seem to contain any links or references just hopeful thinking on a community driven effort.
It's a mod's problem now...
Nooo there isn't another thread on this... That thread was locked for no reason. Please leave this thread open as this discussion is in the category it belongs in, not under webOS development...
anyway Joe if you find any other news please update your original post, I'm very interested in getting windows 8 on my tp.
I did get a 32gb touchpad in anticipation of windows 8, don't know how big the rom/image? Is going to be
Thanks for posting that information, really interesting.
if this thread doesn't get closed then i'll keep it up to date with any new information.
If the Touchpad does get Windows 8, i'll be in heaven, i have to have Windows to do my work, and current laptops suck, they generate too much heat, take forever to boot and the battery life is a joke.
I do wonder what HP's strategy would be bringing Windows 8 to the Touchpad, unless they are going to start selling them for $500± again, I dont see how it could be profitable for them, with webOS they get to lock you into their market...
My guess is they are using the touchpad hardware because its.readily available. They are probably using it to evaluate and test windows 8. Its pure speculation,but what's probably going on is that there is a person who thinks hp should consider producing such a device. As the touchpad is dead,there are now engineering resources available to explore such projects. They most likely are letting the R&D people keep doing there jobs. If they stopped that,that whole.division they are considing selling would,just like WebOS,become worthless in a very short time. Think of it as HP trying not to repeat the same mistake twice.
It does not mean HP is planning such a device,dozens of such projects are started and abandoned all the time. It also does not mean they are planing on releasing a touchpad version of windows. A device with windows 8 might have similar hardware or perhaps not,but chances are,its just an evaluation. MS probably has most of the drivers they need so its probably an easy thing for them to do with help from Microsoft and presumably qualcom.
HP's perception of good timing is..............bad.
If that's true of course. It goes without saying that if people wanted a Windows 8 tablet, they're gonna go for those new tablets, this one doesn't even have a back camera. There's a stack of reasons why this rumor is simply, false- IMHO.
Now of course if they could get it on there with just a download, I might consider.
But still- Windows 8 won't be here any time soon.
We'll be "lucky" if it comes out by next year. You know what that means....
I for one don't need a camera on a tablet other than the ffc. Have one on my galaxy tab literally used it once. Only reason I see a use for a back cam on these things is maybe for gaming and/or AR type applications.
@pflatlyne&@DreamOWD you both make some good points.
It probably would be retarded for HP to push the Touchpad as a Windows 8 Tablet, they would be wise to introduce some new hardware, a standard USB port and a camera that doesn't look like vomit are probably on the list, but I hoping they continue with their idiocracy(which lead to us getting this tablet for $99 ) and release Windows 8 on the Touchpad.
So the question may very well be, how dumb is HP?
I guess, the possibility of HP officially releasing Windows 8 for Touchpad is more or less equal to tossibility of Apple releasing iOS5 for TP. We could only hope for our devs porting it. However, i'm afraid that 16gb of TP's memory won't be enough even for pagefile.sys.

Or microsoft realizes the market share they would get if they update toichpads to it, and the goodwill of consumers talking positively about microsoft.
That said I doubt they will release it

I'm not gonna lie, Once an ARM release for Windows 8 gets released, I will put it on the Prime ASAP. Why?
I have been following the Build of Windows 8 for some time. I must admit, I am whole-heartily impressed at the awesome features that are coming. The developer tools that Microsoft released will also make it easy for developers to port their apps to x86 and ARM. The marketplace will open up a store that half a billion people could potentially look at.
Windows is the behemoth of the computing age and they are charging directly into mobile computing. I choose Windows over Android because I want more than what Android has to offer.
I want good browsers, application support, enterprise support, and a desktop OS with Metro integration.
If you want to see why I am excited for Windows 8, don't listen to me!
Watch the first Keynote and you will be wowed at what's coming:
http://channel9.msdn.com/events/BUILD/BUILD2011/KEY-0001
Also, here is the Build Blog, where Microsoft is actually taking advice on creating Windows 8.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/
I hope everyone is as excited as I am for what's coming. Remember this: Even if you hate Windows-everything, you should be excited for it. Windows 8 will force Android and iOS to really push harder in creating a full-fledged mobile OS.
The Prime is the perfect tablet for both Android, and Windows 8.

how much is it going to cost to buy windows 8 for the transformer? if its anything like the current windows, you will have to pay for upgrade and all that.

That's a good question. Just like every other Windows release out there, if you are too poor; Piracy is just too easy. But I don't think I will resort to that. Something I have noticed is the lack of mentioning toward different versions of Windows 8. If feels as if there will be the consumer, server edition, and ARM edition(?).
I don't know.
Why don't you just wait and get a Windows tablet, if you want a Windows tablet?

Because why wait? Windows 8 works great on the Tegra 3 chip! 1GB of RAM is plenty as Windows 8 uses less memory than Windows 7. Also, I love the Transformer. I'm sure Asus will release the Prime for Windows variant, but I love Android as well.
In my opinion Ms has missed the train and that they did it twice,the first one being when they left the WM unsupported and went to WP7 there by giving up the lead to the emreging OSs with a very big margin,and now another grave mistake will be if x86 apps will not run on the ARM version,which will need a couple of years to develop new ones,well I can imagine the IOS and android with there aliready big advantage where will they be by than!!.

Microsoft is making a painful transition. They are working hard at porting their full Windows OS onto ARM. I believe they see that ARM architecture will be the future of low-power, high performance computing. They will certainly support Windows 8, but what they will struggle with is convincing all x86 developers supporting the Windows platform to port their applications over to ARM as well. It is not Microsoft's fault that ARM will not run x86 applications; it is a necessity and Microsoft cannot afford to wait much longer.
ive actually been thinking about this. i love android and wouldn't replace it on the prime for the world but would it be possible without breaking some laws? i remember when the hd2 got wp7 there was a few threads in the evo forum saying that since we have the same hardware can we get it to. and apparently it violated "warez" or something so we couldn't. so... if this does come to the prime then it would be sweet but idk if it ever will... (p.s. i could be wrong so if anyone has anything to correct me on then please feel free)
I'm definitely interested in dual booting later.. hopefully win installation will be viable in some way.

I could be wrong about this, but I don't think it's the same case. WP7 is proprietary to Microsoft, which doesn't distribute it freely like Google does with Android. I also don't think consumers can buy a license for WP7 to put on any device, so if the phone doesn't come with it natively, it would be illegal to put it on a non-WP7 phone.
Windows 8, on the other hand, is purchasable buy consumers, so one could legally buy it and put it on whatever device they chose to.

While i fail to see why you would WANT Windows 8, keep in mind that Microsoft may very well not release a purchasable version of Windows 8 ARM to consumers.

Yes, that's a very good point. But still, it was a legitimate answer to the question posed. But you're right that we shouldn't assume that Windows 8 will be purchasable.
Good luck on installing win8 on the transformer. My guess is that it wont be possible without heavy developer effort.
Just wait for the official win8 transformer and install android on it (dual boot):way easier i think

Perhaps. Tegra 3 'Kal-El' is the flagship processor for Windows 8 ARM. I think installing Windows on the Prime will be quite easy as its hardware matches what Microsoft has been demonstrating. I think the hardest thing would be getting the Keyboard Dock functioning.

Agree. Unbelievably "heavy developer effort"... add the fact that WinRT on ARM does NOT include the Win8 Desktop stack.
Consider the Microsoft developer effort to:
(1) Port Office and any(all) other applications to WinRT so it can be used on ARM - nothing Win7 nor WP7 will directly port to WinRT except maybe hello world and trivial apps. Without Office on the ARM tablet who cares.
(2) Port WinRT to the Windows Phone replacing WP7.
(3) Perform a COMPLETE UX rewrite of any required applications to Metro touch to run under WinRT on ARM.
(4) Build, support, maintain developer tools for all the above.
(5) A million other things.
Unless Microsoft has infinite resources, I do NOT think they will be competitive with Android nor Apple for years (if ever) in the mobile space. This comment usually causes Microsoft zealots much discomfort and denial.
Without Office-Touch Version on WinRT the WinRT platform will FAIL worse than WP7 is failing now. Office on Windows 7 touch is an abortion, e.g. Samsung XE700t1a with Windows 7. It is a catch-22 for Microsoft to make WinRT Office run on ARM platform because that may not generate the *required* Windows 8 Ultimate Home Premium Standard Business Suite Server license revenues.
So, today, Microsoft has not seriously accomplished anything competitive in the mobile spaces. In the future, there is infinite work to accomplish any logical road map but no road map has been announced. The Windows 8 Desktop and WinRT bits from BUILD (and after) are pre-Alpha stage.
In the meantime, Android merged tablet & phone OS to version 4.0, and Apple is also busy with hundreds of million mobile phone and tablet customers.
Waiting for Microsoft to finish something is a great suggestion, but version 1.0 is a huge risk too. Maybe waiting until version 3 of the Microsoft phone and tablet? LOL

Nope, everything regarding drivers must be written, kernel, sound, video, wifi, 3G if data version...one tegra 3 machine does not mean another loads. They must be done for each machine. Oh, I forgot touchscreen also. You just can't load it..it must be developed for it.

Yes. Windows 8 would most likely be an OEM-only OS. HOWEVER, The Eee Pad Transformer series will most likely have Windows 8 variants making this hell of a lot easier.
Not gonna like, the metro UI and thus WP7 can go die in a fire, and I mean a REALLY DEADLY one! The blocky TILE interface, with no respect for the ability to get lost in menu's/programs... really sad... I stopped helping friends/family with their WP7 devices after the second week they got them... thankfully most are on Android / Blackberry now... my hate is for the Metro UI, not necessarily the underlying CORE for Win8 and WP7 (the only hate that surpasses that which I have for the MetroUI is the iPhone OS/Software, because the iPhone 4/4S hardware is pretty premo)
However, to give you a counter balance for my above rant, I am currently running the Windows 8 Developer Preview on my desktop, as my ABSOLUTE HATE for Metro UI, it is indeed disabled, and no, that's NOT all there is to see in the Win8DP!
Besides MetroPOS, I love the rest of what they have done with Win8, AND to that effect I WILL be looking forward to DUAL booting (if possible), BUT only if some of the main programs I use see an ARM port since there will be no x86 emulation or back porting! Else the only thing that would even mildly interest me in Dual Booting is the bragging rights to say I have a desktop/laptop OS on a tablet...
So, to sum it up!:
Love Win8
Love DualBooting
Love Android
Love Transformer Prime
Love thought of Win8/Programs running on tablet device
HATE METROPOS (er i mean UI...)
i was thinking more on the line of having both android and windows 8 on the transformer with a dual boot option and when u boot up u pick ur poison
Further to my previous comment, I have been thinking about this, and I think if the opportunity to Dual-Boot came along, I would go for it.
Purely for a full Microsoft Office suite on the Tablet. Then I could leave my laptop at home and take my tablet only!
Maybe a stupid question, but here goes:
Do you think that the Transformer Prime will support Windows 8?
I don't see why not.. It would have to be "hacked" to work though. .I can't see Asus allowing other OSes to be installed through the bootloader by default. The next problem is getting drivers to work with the Tegra3 and other hardware on the Prime. Even though Win8 has a ARM build in the works - hopefully Windows includes some Tegra3 drivers by default or something to make things easier on us.
More like will windows 8 support prime?
Windows8 wont be on tablets till mid 2013. NVIDIA would have gone through Kal el, Kal el+, and stark chips to be on Logan. I hope to be past the prime by that point. Windows8 is just way to late to the party. Live in the now man.
The current word is mid-late 2012 with tegra 3...which is why people are talking on this

"Notebooks running Windows 8 on ARM processors rather than Intel or AMD x86 chips aren’t expected to hit the market until June 2013, insider sources have suggested, indicating Microsoft’s Windows on ARM project will lag considerably behind the mainstream build. The platform itself is tipped to go public at the end of 2012, DigiTimes‘ sources tell them, but with the first hardware not scheduled until midway through the following year, broad adoption isn’t seen until 2014 at the earliest."

I suppose it's all rumors anyway:

My perspective is we know they are testing win8 on tegra 2 and 3 tablets, both have been mentioned. Win 8 will be in a state to release early next year, and the tablet tech will be there...I believe it'll happen in 2012. I can't imagine they'd really let it take that long and lose all that market share.
No you can install windows 8 in the device as extent to i know, but still i have heard that it is possible to install Ubuntu in the device.

Microsoft has done nothing but stumble in the Mobile space.
Why will this be any different?
As we all know, Remix OS has stopped updating its system since 2015, and recently, Team Jide released its message on the official website:
A message from Jide:
We started Jide Technology in the mission to unlock 2014 with the potential of Android and accelerate a new age of computing. From day one, our goal was to create products that could help bring the next billion people online, encourage productivity and remove barriers of access to information and technology. We re proud of what 'we' ve achieved with Remix OS and the response it s garnered from around the "world. But more importantly, we couldn t have done it without the 'Kickstarter community.
The Kickstarter community was the first to accept our vision in 2014. Unlocking productivity in Android, the Remix Ultratablet introduced Jide and Remix OS to the world. With the positive reception of the initial concept, we soon gave birth to the world s first true Android "PC Mini. And following the - Remix success of Remix Mini, we brought Remix OS for PC to all PCs around the world. For each and every backer and user who supported us, large or small, it was you who pushed us to break barriers and seek new horizons. We are eternally grateful for your support.
Over the past year, we received an increasing number of inquiries from enterprises in various industries, and began helping them build great tools for their organizations by leveraging Jide software and hardware. We see huge potential in the role that Jide can play to revolutionize how these businesses operate. And given our existing resources, we decided to focus our company efforts solely on the enterprise space moving forward.
We 'll be restructuring our approach to Remix OS and transitioning away from the consumer space. As a result, development on all existing products such as Remix OS for PC as well as products in our pipeline such as Remix IO and IO+ will be discontinued. Full refunds will be issued to ALL BACKERS via Kickstarter for both Remix IO and Remix IO+. In addition any purchases made via our online store that has remained unfulfilled will also be fully refunded. This requires no action from you as we will begin issuing refunds starting August 15th.
Note: It may take ten business days for the refund to appear on a backer's credit or debit card statement. If the initial refund attempt is unsuccessful, we will ensure all refunds are successfully processed. For both Kickstarter backers and online store purchasers, once a refund has been successfully processed, you will receive an email indicating the amount of the refund and the payment source refunded.
We 'd like to take this moment to thank our incredible community who joined us on this journey VE in the last three years to helped us build Remix OS. We very much believe that the future of computing is with Android and we're excited for the role Jide will play in this amazing ecosystem.

When last I read, Phoenix OS (whose desktop looks quite like Remix OS) can be used in typical desktop mode or tablet mode.
There's another Android-based desktop that looks like Remix OS, but still appears to be in its testing phase: OpenThOS (www.openthos.org).
Guys,
Phoenix OS has opened kernel source today thanks to my petition!
Join the Phoenix community at it's XDA and Discord. Let's get this system going.
Tell your friends!
@sebby64
Yea, Computer Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.computer.desktop.ui.launcher
I haven't tested how it works with freeform Windows yet (Nougat and newer only).
EDIT:
Tested this launcher. Doens't support multi window yet, but I've reached out to it's dev and I hope he adds it.
Why companies (minix etc) will not create their own launcher like remix os ? This would increase the functionality of the devices. I understand that now is the time for touch screens not mouse ...
Maybe Jide will provide source code and people will continue the project and put them on other devices not only for PC or dedicated ...In my opinion there is no replacement for Remix OS for this moment because they are not working well.
@sebby64 the answer is simple - it requires too much initial effort before it brings profit.
Is there a way to install chrome OS as dual boot with Windows? I've seen cloudready but it's not the best choice, since it doesn't come with play store. Is there a way to install the original chrome OS with the store?
BLISS x86 is the best alternative.

No, you're going to have to start fresh, or make backups of your appdata in remix and transfer it onto something else for safekeeping then install Bliss. Other than not having the UI that Remix and Phoenix have, it's actually much better. It's built on the x86 source with their own updates and such given that it's 7.1.1-7.2, a more up-to-date kernel, I believe they offer both rooted/unrooted versions, and a few other things. Like I said, the only thing missing is the UI system, and to me, that would make them better than any other choices out there in terms of a PC-compatible Android OS.

Is there a way to install chrome OS as dual boot with Windows? I've seen cloudready but it's not the best choice, since it doesn't come with play store. Is there a way to install the original chrome OS with the store?

Then you have to purchase either a well known brand WiFi adapter or as you say andtoid-x86 based os are best fit for laptops.
