Just a question for grins! I know the HD2 can dual boot Windows and Android but can the Epic dual boot Windows as well? I just think it would be something to check off my list to do for the heck of it even though Android is far better than Windows.
That is a good question
I don't think anyone is actually going to try unless they want a lawsuit from M$...unlike android Windows requires a license from M$..they let winmo phones slide cause they make money either way but I don't think they would let an Android phone running their OS slide...
I could be wrong but the snapdragon and htc phones may have x86 instructions... I don't know what winmo was written on though.
I'm almost positive there isn't an ARM version of windows.
So feel free to prove me wrong but if windows doesn't have an ARM binary and the hummingbird doesn't support x86, which I'm almost sure it doesn't. Then we won't see that happening anytime soon.

Snapdragons are based on ARM Cortex A8..its not x86...the mobile processor thats x86 is the Intel Moorestown...
You are confusing windows phone with actual windows..they have no relations..
Not to mention the above but wp7 has a phone identifier, do that would have to be spoofed as well for it to be at all useful.

Now the only device I'v see that can both run android and wp7 is HTC HD2. And I don't know why no developers want to let wp7 in other device. I've used android for 6 months and just use wp7 only 1 month. But I think the wp7 let applications more efficient. And I think if let this system in the powerful dual-core tablet can let this more strong. Now some one can let Ubuntu run in A500. And is possible to run wp7 in it?
WP7 is closed-source and would be extremely difficult to port over to this chipset, especially since there is no build of WP7 optimized for Tegra 2 yet.

WP7 devices were being outsold by WebOS devices by almost 2:1. WebOS is officially gone due to the lack of any profit HP was able to yield from it. Why would you want to let MS infect another bit of hardware like android tablets?
WP7 on HTC is sweet...
but I don't think it's optimized for tablet usage...
waiting win8

I've already notice it, but I think nvidia want to let its chip on other OS platform. The tegra wp7 is coming soon.
You're right about that and one problem they are having with Win 7 on touch devices is that it's not designed for touch devices. Supposedly Win 8 will be, but it's not out yet.

This thread is not the focal point for all discussions relating to running Win7, Win8 or WinAnything on the Tab 10.1.
It has been formed by merging some of the largest and oldest Windows-on-Tab threads into one.
Windows 7 or Windows 8 on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Hello
Is it possible to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Thank you in advance.
Windows 7 doesn't work on the processor inside the tab. Windows 8 will but that version hasn't been released. Only the intel version has.
Would love Windows 8 on my tab.
Watch this space, I guess...
S galaxy 10.1 and win 8 possible?
I have heard that windows 8 is gonna support the intel chip in the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1. will it be possible to install this OS on this tablet someday..

I wouldnt want windows 8 on my tablet...but I can see why some people might be interested.
nvidia is not intel though. they may licence some technologies from each other, but they aren't one and the same. If they were. then why would intel be bothering with the medfield chips?

If dual boot was possible why would u not want to put win 8 or any other OS on it? I thought that was the point of being "open" why do so many touchpad users want android???

Actually windows8 might surprise you. it is not bloatware as in previous windows
Nvidia uses arm architecture intel uses x86. Windows 8 is being designed to support lean hardware like ARM based SoC. It will supports 2 modes - traditional windows called desktop mode and touch based called metro. Its tile based metro UI is more elegant than android and shoul work with both x86 and arm devices. X86 will habe an edge as it will work woth traditional windows as well as Metro while arm can only work with metro assuming they fix all the headaches related to arm

Well sorry to blow out your dreams but Windows 8 ARM wont isnt coming 'til 2013 and it WONT be available as OEM or retail disc in any way.
It will be embedded into the slabs, just like Android.
But since it is NOT open source, you just will NOT be able to add it afterwords.
THERE WILL BE NO WINDOWS ON THE GTAB 10.1. EVER.
Dual-Booting a Windows 8 ARM tablet with Android might be possible, but not the opposite.
That being said; just wait to see the price of the Windows-based slabs; itll be a good 200$ over the comparable Android-based slab.

Unfortunately, I agree with everything here, except the word "ever." I think there will be folks rocking the GT10 when Win8 gets leaked and built, but by then this will be a "legacy device." I'm really looking forward to having a windows 8 tablet, but it won't be the galaxy tab 10.1
yep microsoft UEFI Secure Boot technology might make it near impossible to dual boot win 8 and android ON devices built for windows8 - but i have faith in the dev community to port Win 8 onto android first devices- not that i would use it anyway

Unlikely, as win8rt will only come as builds dedicated to a specific device (with that device) and the win8rt bootloader requires a secureboot-enabled EFI bios with _only_ the MS keys embedded. (E.G. how often did windows CE get hacked onto a device that never had it)
_If_ we see win8rt on other T3 Kai platforms, that end up exploitable _and_ people are able to hack out the EFI secure bootloader stuff, then _maybe you'll see a ropey build do the rounds, but I wouldn't count on it
No and why would be the answer.
Windows 8 won't run windows apps and it's a step back to the dark ages in UI design.
Microsoft have also locked have ensured that windows 8 will only boot on approved hardware with signed EFI certs. This also means that a windows 8 ARM tablet won't boot anything else either.

Windows 8 RT sucks anyway, even if it was ported most people wouldn't care because it's RT and Arm based so it's not like your installing diablo 3.
now if someone releases an intel x86 android tablet, thats another story.
Still, can't wait for Microsoft Surface Pro, that thing looks amazing.
As everyone has said, It is not possible. Even if someone got the EFI to pass, windows RT was not designed for tegra devices.
Questions go in the Q&A section
Yea. But can it run Crysis? :laugh:

Any Nexus forced to run Windows would die of shame... Might as well ask if it would run Ios6.
This has troll written all over it. Shame on you OP..lol.
sorry... (hangs head in shame)
Don't be ashamed. This is a very legitimate question.
Windows 8 finally brings a true mobile windows. And it would be awesome if the nexus could dual boot into it.
Now Windows 8 RT kinda sucks ass since outside of office your just running windows phone apps basically though i'm sure that'll change eventually.
Plus, windows 8 is not really meant for a 7" screen, more like 10" minimum right now.
but as it's been said, it'll probably never happen due to many different reasons.
my advice, save up for a surface pro thats coming out in december/january

This will probably be considered a noob question, and I apologize if this is question is in the wrong place, but is it within reason to dual-boot android on a windows RT tablet? The answer may determine my purchase of a windows tablet when they arrive, because I like both android and windows on tablets.

Not possible. Windows RT uses Secure Boot, BitLocker and other security mechanisms so it will be extremely hard to break.
A little question to the OP, why?

Games and previously purchased apps would be my best guess. If there ends up being good android emulation (bluestacks) then I would think that there is no reason at all.

Because Android was built from the ground up on mobile devices. Windows went the other way. Obviously Android does a lot of things better when mobile.

Currently you can run Android in a VM successfully on prior Windows editions, I have yet to run it virtually on Windows 8 BUT if you're actually buying an RT Tablet that runs on ARM, I don't suggest you purchase it hoping to run Android.
Good news? Intel is going Mobile and so is the ARM Processor and why is that good? Anyone can make it and not just anyone but Samsung is noted to be making a model FOR Android phones. Why does this matter? It means Google must be up to making Android for ARM and if that is true, I can almost bet that someone will be able to put it on a Windows RT Tablet eventually and that is the keyword, eventually.
So if you have to dual boot right this second? Buy a normal Windows 8 Tablet/Slate, not RT Tablet as they're not as powerful and "Desktop" will NOT be available but if you're not looking for power, stay with an Android Tablet or wait to see what Microsoft will be doing with the Slate.
Or Dual-Boot Android & WindowsRT on Android TABLET? :thumbup:
Time will make it happen.
Maybe run bluestacks in windows 8?

Oh, I just thought the possibility if it was rather low (even if it was done, probably not going to be too good), so offered an easier alternative.
I mean there are even android x86 projects, just that they don't work that well and compatibility isn't the best over different hardware.
Only time will tell
