a challenge for developpers

Could anyone of you try to install Windows 7 (for PC) on a MicroSDHC (I don't have one with 16 or 32GB so I can't try) and try to boot it (using multiboot with WinMo 6.5) on HTC HD2?
This experience must sho us if:
- HTC HD2 can run Windows 7 (lagging or not)
- Windows 7 can recognize our 480x800 screen resolutions
- Windows 7 can use our GPS
- Windows 7 can recognize and use our accelerometer
- Windows 7 can use our phone for calling
- HTC HD2 has the specifications to run Windows 7 (is Snapdragon efficient?)
- etc...
If it works, maybe my phone will use Windows 7 instead of WinMo7...

Can any of you try to install cash into envelopes and try to mail it to me?

Search for Bochs, you can get windows 95 to run on the HD2. Unusable, but it runs...

ok this is serious and possible, if you came here only to write stupid things you can go on iPhone.com... for others who are interested you can stay... after all the Wii launched Win95, an HD2 launched Win95, etc... Why an HD2 could not launch Win7?

Maybe it could, but that wouldn't make it any close to being useable. x86 PC and ARM are different architectures, so emulation is needed to run a PC OS on an ARM device like the HD2... which is awfully slow.
Imagine taking your 10-15 year old PC and try to run win7 on it.

I can't help the way i look, i've got a cold at the moment if you don't mind.
Seriously though, I've been here a long time and that was a stupid question, especially for your first post. You spent more time writing it than you did on ANY type of research or use of common sense. You might as well asked if you could install it on a nokia (or iphone).

I honestly thought he ment win phone 7 series at first.
You want to run the latest win OS on your phone...
Everything would be so small!

first i don't have iPhone nor Nokia (I really dislike those two)...
Then, yes i want to try windows Seven to try it on a capacitive screen, to see if it could adapt on a WVGA screen, etc... I only want to see if it is possible, not to use everyday... someone installed ubuntu on his phone, someone installed Windows 95 on his wii, ... It could be funny to see it running...
Finally johnk1973, someone said in the past "when you don't know something... just shut up!!!" so maybe you could think about this...

If you EVER find anyone installing and running windows 7 on their HD2 then get back in contact, maybe then you can imply you know more than me..

Serious question? Really? Okay. Here's a serious answer. No. It will not work. Totally forget about it - 100% forget about it.
Incidentally, you're being ridiculously rude for a noob. Chill out and stop insulting people. Just because someone offends you by not being serious, doesn't mean it's okay for you to name-call back at them.
Finally, I read some very good advice somewhere...

I agree!!! Some things are possible, while others....let's just say impossible xD

johncmolyneux you're acting like johnk1973... you say no without saying why... maybe 'cause you don't know either... so don't post here, you're acting for nothing... your "serious" answer is not serious...
johnk1973 i didn't say that i know more, i said if tou don't know don't fill this topic...

At the last look nearly 600 different people have viewed this thread and not one person has said you can install Windows 7 on a HD2. Only one person said it's possible if someone was to write an emulation program to do it, and he's right but there is no such program. This would be a massive task and pointless as the processor in the HD2 is not capable of running both the emulation and Windows 7 at the same time, maybe in 10 years (? anyone). Don't confuse the 1Ghz processor in the HD2 as being ANYTHING close to a 1Ghz in a PC.

yeah i think this will replace my osx86 install. just be aware the servers will be jam packed tonight.

Hell yeah! Can't wait to try this out

Wicked!
Shame there's no ARM support in today's release though, would have loved to see W8 on the Tab, Touchpad or Xoom

Windows 8 ? First cousin to Vista ? Just another new system to have the bugs worked out of it ? No thanks.
XP Pro forever !!!

Cool, I thought they will release it later...

I have a feeling windows 8 is gonna be hard to get used to

If you're a technical person it will take you about 7 seconds.
If you can't get used to it, I'll politely ask you to GTFO and never enter this forum again

this is a pre-release beta, no where near final but suppose to be very stable.

If you can't download it tonight, it sure will be available in torrent form soon enough.

I'm ready. I'm about to format my PC reinstalling W7, and Will make an extra partition for W8.

You can see the keynote speech here: http://www.buildwindows.com/
Looks interesting, but will hold judgement until I can have a play. Not sure how well it will work on a non-touch laptop or pc.
Anandtech's hands on with it. At the start they use it with a bluetooth kb+mouse before switching to touch.

We can always switch to apple?

I support users who find XP and Word difficult to use, W8 from a business point of view at first glance is going to be hell.
I can see the support calls now:
"I've lost word, it was there a minute ago and now it's gone"
"Why does this keep appearing when I touch the edge of the screen?"
Or more likely in 2 years time "We've bought a new PC, install XP on it like all the rest"
Someone tell me we can hide Metro, please?
Otherwise MS will have missed the point again. We use interfaces designed for finger input on our phones/tablets because it is practical not because it is the best method (which clearly it isn't) . Likewise we use a keyboard/mouse on a PC rather than touch because they are more efficient.

The download is live on dev.windows.com. Just FYI

The Metro UI in Windows 8 can be deactivated and you can have the "normal" desktop style.
Downloading now!
Not as slow as I thought, sure later when more ppl download will be slower...

Downloading.. Somehow this just doesn't seem so promising as windows 7.. haha

Yep download is up. And is super slow. Chrome tells me 8 hours left lol. A 3.6GB torrent usually takes me about an hour to download

Anyone trying Windows 8?

Kind of off topic, but I'm just curious to know if anyone's tried out the Windows 8 developer preview. I'm trying it right now, and it's honestly not that bad. Some things still need work, but it's definitely something I could get use to.

I was curious about it too, got a link?
also can i dual boot it with win 7?

Yes, and if you really want to get a feel for it lifehacker has an article showing how to share files between the Windows 7 and 8 partitions.

I havn't tried it yet, trying to get it to work with vmware.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516

I thew it on my 4 year old cheap laptop and after figuring out how to navigate the start menu I really like how fast it is. Only problem is I can't seem to be able to install .net framework, hence phonemypc won't work (I wanted to test drive metro ui on my epic since its touchscreen optimized) I'm gonna keep it on my laptop until the beta expires but I'm sad to say that I want a windows 8 tablet waaaaay more than even an ice cream tablet.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Yeah I'm using it on a partition on my brand-new laptop. I really like it actually!
Metro UI is a bit to get used to, but I love using the touchpad multi-touch controls to navigate from panel-mode to the standard desktop, bootup is much faster, and I can share files fine between my regular Win7 partition and the Windows 8 partition.
@xopher.hunter, I had an issue with .NET 3.5, but it installed fine after a restart. YMMV...
I bought a Touchpad during the fire sale, and have yet to receive it from HP Small Business (have to wait for the last production run), but I wanna put Win8 on it when the ARM build gets out.

Im waiting for a windows 8 tablet to come out
I do NOT like the UI for desktops :/
WIndows 7 for my PC, windows 8 for tablet.
fk yeah.
Microsoft killed all of my interest in an android tablet when they revealed the metro ui windows 8. PERFECT TABLET OS (atleast based on what ive seen, it has all the right things.)
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------
actually...i just remembered in a previous video they didnt have metro ui on and it looked like windows 7...so i might just give it a shot if i can take the skin off..
Also, what's phonemypc? Remote desktop thing for the epic im guessing?

Lol you mean android prpo lol you dont get win took the source code rewrote it pstent it and you would fund that lol

Its this 10 dollar app in the market, yes it is a remote desktop client but very well done and very simple to set up. Its a freaking life saver if you forget something on your computer.
I still haven't been able to install .net 3.5.1, I even dl'd the standalone but it still wanted to use microsoft update to install, and I rebooted it too. Oh well this is why I put this on my old ass laptop. Runs like a champ though only on 1.86ghz and 1.5gb of ram it seems ready for tablets alredy.

I personally am hating the metro ui...its to hard to navigate. It's too big of a step. To me, its clunky. People were afraid of vista because of the glossy difference from xp, this is like 100x worse.

I find it too bland. (still wonder if I can change the green background to another color...)
Idk, I agree it's too tablet-like, but I like how everything is together.
Definitely doesn't make sense for a computer though.
I feel like we're going backwards a bit since we're basing computer UI off of mobile UIs which are meant to be more compact.
Even in OS X Lion, they had the "Launchpad" feature where it looked exactly like you were on an iPad.
Why do companies think people like this?

Idk. Maybe because they think it looks better than just a plain list, but now they're more interested in eye candy than functionality. Why can't we have both.
On the other topic, I would like to try windows 8, but it's not really useful for me since I have a 1024x600 netbook, so Metro Apps don't work. I've tried the hack that makes resolution higher on Windows 7, but it looks horrible with that.

my question is the lifehacker site says you need to burn a dvd or use a thumbdrive, can I also use a SD card? (don't want to waste a DVD and have no RWs at the moment)
Also will doing this erase everything on Win 7? I dual booted Ubuntu once and it didn't but LifeHacker says something about formmating the drive

Will not erase everything as long as you boot to dvd or usb (I don't think SD cards are bootable). You don't need to format, you need to partition (which is like grouping your hard drive, with one group for windows 7 and one for windows 8)

But you never actually have to use Launchpad, and its quite nice to find an app quickly without spotlight.

I dont think thats true. I dont think they can run Windows 7 apps, but I think they can run any app built for 8 or just windows for arm in general.

BUMP! I'd really appreciate it if this would somehow work... :victory:

you would think windows would support live wallpapers natively by now, and just disable the feature on lower end computers like they did with aero glas and windows 7. would make allot of users happy

Here you go-- http://www.animated-wallpaper.com/Video-Wallpaper/
Only trial but when it asks you to buy it after trial it will say something like buy with trial play.
Trial play allows you to complete an offer which requires about $2 and then you get the software instead of paying $20 directly for the Video Wallpaper.
IT DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 8!

Such a misleading title... I came here expecting a working method, but just found a question :/ Perhaps add a question tag or a question mark?

The very basic reason for this issue is the support for the flash as the version of dreamscene on windows 8 currently doesn't works on the binaries of the new flash player there are several tools available in the name of DREAMSCENE ENABLER to enable compatibility of the new flash

We will see, what will be possible with it, an if it can compete with an Linux-based OS.

It won't. Widows 10 for RPi is made for developing IoT, not using system.

Yes, but there are also Linux-based firmwares, which are meant for developing IoT.
And there is the question: Will it be better than an Linux-based OS? Will it just be another OS? Or will it be something completly different?

Microsoft made a blogpost a week ago: https://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/18/developing-for-the-windows-10-device-platform/

Now we can download the preview on Microsoft website.
But you can install it on RPi only with Windows 10.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get a full running Windows on RPi?
