Not sure about this but has anyone got any early windows longhorn builds i could try?
i would prefer build 3718.
thanks
flyboy
longhorn was the name for vista when it was beta is that what you seek?
in that case why?
Longhorn is old news...get with Windows 7!
duh ive own and have beta tested win 7. But the question is has anyone got a copy of longhorn build 3718!
oh and i want to test it that is why i seek it
What?
Why do you want to test an old build of an already released *and superseded* operating system? One which flopped?!
You're a proper masochist, my friend...
1.What a masocrist or whatever?
2. Windows 7 gets boring when youve had it for 2 years.
3. longhorn is a combination of xp and vista as we no it.
Anyway i want to discover what was up with longhorn. And why it was never sold as it was. And why it and vista needed 4 years of development.
thanks
flyboy
1. Google is always good to provide what something means
2. You must be a pre-beta tester for M$ as wasn't even previewed 2 years ago
3. If your not specific on build you will find the 4XXX available for download via searching "can't provide link the sites go against forum rules"

Actually the build of longhorn your on about is not a mix of vista and xp, its an early vista buld with the old xp taskbar still in it, explorer .exe and everything else are early beta builds of vista versions, most now have expired because of timebombs, i doubt you will find a copy outside of bill gates mansion lol
and i had the very first pre-beta build of win 7 and that was about a year ago not 2 lol
yeah.
i do
i got 3718
and 4051. 4074 . 5112. and about 10 other beta builds fron 2002 onwards right up to post rtm vista builds ( yep they did betas after the rtm ! )
*************
BTW: the timebomb thing. you just set the bios date/time back to when it come out, then install.
Oh and i got windows 7 build 6519 so i will be trying that tonight.
And terminal 7 can you upload 3718 to mediafire? Rapidshares gone a bit funny
Or upload to live skydrive and send us the link? Please
I really apriciate it!
thanks

The great HD2was stolen from me had to settle on the replacement HD7. I gotta get rid of windows 7 on this phone.
bummer
but I doubt they will ever root windows 7. windows phone is locked down. and people on in this forum like the fact that its un customizable. so your probably out of luck buddy. why don't you just trade someone for an hd2. thats what I do
Well yes its locked down. But it wont be forever.
Im sure that at a certain stage some one will hack the HSPL. Then it will be the job to port MAGDLR to HD7
Waiting for that time to come sooonnnnnn!!!! =P=P=P
Wow, yousuf18691... way to necropost a thread from February.
It's already possible (and has been for many months) to put HSPL on the HD7, although if you have the latest set of updates (SPL 5.x) that's currently not working.
As for putting Android on the HD7, first somebody would need to port Android to the HD7, and nobody seems to have done so yet. There's plenty of Android phones if you really want one, though - nobody is holding you at gunpoint and making you buy a Windows phone, I assume.
wish I had his phone

these things are amazing!!!!
I will be looking forward to next update from now on!!!!!!!
Mango will be great..... and the device is Asus... cool another OEM partner..
Yeah i wish Asus would release that device. I think they might when Skype comes out for it cause it has a ffc and all. acer has a nice looking wp7 as well.
I cant wait for this update though! looks amazing. they need to hurry
I know i have choosen a right OS to play it.... I know Microsoft will not let us down... (Windows 7 and now Windows Phone 7...)
Is it just me or does that guy look like the dude off despicable me?
Yep. Microsoft won't let us down, but it will definitely let us WAIT
At this point it's not likely as Microsoft have stated from the start that this Asus Device (E600) is a developement only device and will not hit retail, notice the serial number on the top of the device as each one is tagged to who it went to etc. The Chevron guys were each given one when they went to see Microsoft in January.
Would be nice if Asus did release some phones that had a similar design though, maybe they'll bring one out later this year once they can start using front facing cameras and such with the Mango Update.
i will buy Nokia WP7 next.... if not will still stick to HTC top end device.... as once i made a mistake buying Samsung i780 WM device, and i will not make the same mistake again... nice looking or not but the user and mod base is biggest for HTC...
Check the upcoming building Windows 8 for the PC it's very interesting because it has a really similar OS that hd7 has right now
Check the video
Code:

I think that the Windows Phone 7 is going to have a great future but who knows how long will that take.
I'll advise people now not to bother with any current leaked Windows 8 builds that are out there. Driver support is non-existant and if you plan on Dual-booting it uses the same BootMgr as Windows 7 and thus you can't get back to your Windows 7 build without the disk.
Just a question, don't you think they are over doing a nice OS...I mean, looked cool on our phones and all...but don't you think seeing the same thing on PC is pushing it a little too far...just a question...

i agree but disagree at the same time. it can start something new, this isnt something microsoft usually does. look at the last OS's they have had. 7, vista.. almost the same thing. i think that this should have been WP7, and done something alittle more improving to Windows 8. lol
Hi:
I current have an HTC HD2 Telstra, and it came with Windows Mobile. Thanks to the brilliant folks at XDA, I have been successfully running Android, and every time I want to upgrade the type of Android I use, I simply replace the Android folder….simply brilliant.
So I now have no need for Windows Mobile, and am looking to do the same with Windows 8 and Android, and I am trying to find which phone out there is as versatile as the HTC HD2 Telstra, and comes with Windows Phone 8 installed.
How will I know which phone with Windows 8 installed will enable me to also install Android in the same fashion? If I could create the phone, it would be a 5” screen, Windows 8, and a lot of power. Anything close to that would be acceptable, but it must be Windows 8. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chaz
With Windows Phone 7 there was never a port of Android to any device and given that WP8 employs Secure Boot to make sure only verified OS-code is loaded and executed I highly doubt we will see anything similar to the HD2 with WP8. Aside from that no one would be able to say that beforehand.
No Windows Phones do what you want.
Why not just buy an Android phone if that's what you want (for some inexplicable reason)?

Why don't you just buy a galaxy note if you want android and 5" screen, why on earth would you want to buy a windows phone just to port android????

Because I can....lol I like the flexibility of running two different OS, and the additional apps I can use as a result. Keep in mind, I really don't need anything, but if its possible with WIN8 and Android....why wouldn't anyone want two OS on one phone?

Firstly, Windows 8 does not run on phones.
Secondly, Windows Phone 8 devices will not be able to run Android (thankfully).
Thirdly, no Android device will be able to run Windows Phone 8.
I think you will need 2 separate phones, or you will have to choose one or the other if you only want one phone.

OK....it seems that XDA haven't cracked code that disables other OS on Windows Phone. I'm counting on that, but I wont go two phones, I would just buy a cheap tablet.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

If you want a tablet then windows 8 tablets (not windows phone) will run bluestacks.
Do windows phone 7 and 8 apps run on Windows 7 and 8 desktops?

Only if you have an emulator. Windows phone 8 and windows 8 share a common kernel and a lot of cross platform ability however an app will need to be written for the phone or for windows 8. That said in most cases this is just a case of how you compile it or a very small amount of code change so you can expect the growth of windows 8 and windows phone 8 to push each others markets up.

One word...wait... Android for the HD2 did not come out the day the phone was released. The ONLY reason why it had Windows Phone 7 is because Microsoft used it in their testing of WP7, so drivers were leaked and everyone built on it as they learned more. Android was ported to Windows Mobile devices and most, if not all of them were able to run some flavor of Android, even if was just the SDcard boot method.
Time will tell if there will be that magic device that Microsoft MIGHT of used in testing that ran all OS's (WM, WP7 and WP8) and then you might have a earier chance but, I would not count on it.
The only thing you can do is wait, one of the hacker will attempt one device at one point, if they succeed AND release it, you might have it.
Right now, the odds of it happening is very low on phones that have not been released yet and even for months after.
I wish you luck but, if you really want Android more than Windows Phone, I might suggest to just pick up a Android device.
Good luck

If Microsot ever tries their new Windows Phone 8 on HTC HD2..

There are advantages to each OS. I presently have dual boot Wp7.8 (pdaimatejam) and Android on the same HD2 (with 32gb SDcard). It is just brilliant. I can run either and both the latest in these are very smooth. Got the best of both worlds - pretty unique.
