Is there anyway to install windows 8 on the nexus 7? I dont know much about kernels(i dont work with linux enough) and drivers and the sort. (im trying to get into building roms but i have no idea where to start, other than the android kitchen, but that didnt teach me much except for some vocab.) but is there any possible way?

The ARM version is technically a possibility, but since WOA is utterly useless I wouldn't waste the effort.

It could be possible because the Microsoft tablet uses the tegra 3, same does the n7 so the drivers could be ported easily. Bit would be a difficult task.

It'd be highly illegal from that standpoint.
Even if someone somehow did it, that person would probably receive a C&D from Microsoft real quick.
I don't see how it would be illegal, unless screwing with the drivers are illegal. I mean you can run windows in a virtual computer or on a mac. So wouldn't it be the same in that sense?

It's illegal cuz you need a license for it and they most likely aren't selling licenses for the RT version to consumers.

also the Windows 8 RT bootloader doesn't allow for much else, so once you go Windows? you'll never go back.

Yea, the only plausable way would be a sort of virtualbox app, I don't think there is one or is even possible to make it for x86 emulation.

You can't run x86 on ARM. Windows 8 rt for ARM is a big Windows phone that you can't run any x86 programs on.
Just RDP into your existing Win machine, you can do everything this way. I utilize a Wake on LAN app to wake up my computer and control it with an RDP app.

I don't think you are going to see much in the way of compatible programs in the sense you can't load software you currently own. The ARM version won't run x86 based software. So you'll have to repurchase programs.
Also, as others mentioned, it would be illegal since they do not sell licenses to end users for Windows ARM versions and those are licensed directly to OEMs so you would, at best, need to pirate it somehow. Then there are the driver issues. Just because a Windows tablet and and Android tablet have the same CPU/GPU doesn't mean they have the same storage controllers, etc...so there is another headache. You may as well just buy a Windows RT tablet if that is the route you want to go.
i think the memory itself is not enough except if you have SD card
It would be better to install Ubuntu 12.04 since it is Linux, like someone stated, once in windows, always in windows. I'm pretty sure you need some kind of secureboot bootloader to install windows 8 anyway. You also need to think about the licencing issues, of course they're not going to let you install their software on any old device. Is it even worth the hassle? I'd say no. Ubuntu on the other hand is a good option.
Why bother? Me personally, I hate windows and use android to escape it.

The look of stock Android isn't that great, it's what you can do to customize the look that I like. The WP7 UI just looks terrible. I can't even say this looks like a good idea. I guess I can say it's cool for those that actually like the WP7 UI.

Ubuntu has come a LONG way and is now very good. However there is nothing like windows in terms of development. I use both ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 professional. Ubuntu is obviously free and awesome but here's a list of things I couldn't do in ubuntu that I could in windows:
1. Overclock my laptop's 5650m gpu.
2. Cannot use turbo on my latpop's intel cpu. I spent about 2 hours trying to get it working but never found a solution. Not a huge deal but definitely wish I could use it as I paid for it.
As far as I can tell, that is about it. Ubuntu also only uses about 1.5GB of ram, is wickedly fast and stable and of course supremely customizable. If you are going for development the OS doesn't matter much, your compiler and emulator does. I'm somewhat certain ubuntu is faster than windows when tweaked, but you have to pretty much be an expert on how to tweak it. If you have a fast machine (say a quadcore with 8GB of ram) I doubt there is any performance difference between the two OSes. Its unlikely you will be compiling millions of lines of code for an android app, after all.

Easy installation of programs - Windows. When it comes to development though, you'll need Ubuntu. You'll also need to read up and learn a lot of commands (command line is where most of the compiling, installing, etc. takes place on Ubuntu during development).

Hell, I work at a big tech company; I know my way around these mobile OS' internals and their GUIs. They're all solid barring small issues. Open your eyes and realize that you could be enjoying more of the tech world if you take your blinders off.

You might take a look at this project: github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs it's a command line tool to mount MTP devices.
It is developed for Linux, but I have confirmed it worked well on OS X too, you need to osxfuse, Go compiler and libusb in your system to get it work, all of them can be installed through Homebrew, so there is nothing complicated at all.
Since Android 4.4 KitKat can run on only 512 MB of ram, would it be able to run smoothly on our raspi's?

HW acceleration is not a requirement, also the CPU isn't that slow, it will OC to 900-950 pretty easily. Not saying it wouldn't be difficult but I think it might be possible.

Well it running and being usable is always the real question. What's the lowest hardware it able to run on verses being usable for something... I'd be curious to see it attempted at least.
I was wondering this too and checked on the raspberry pi forum, the problem mostly seems to be that the hardware is proprietary to Broadcom and they would have to write drivers for the low level hardware stuff and get graphics working smoothly. But don't take my word for it, I'm very new to all this Check the link (hoping I'm allowed to post it) http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=60395&p=451826
Also, once upon a time (a year ago) someone was working on a 4.0 build for the raspberry pi but it seems the project has died or is very low-priority because there's been no news in over a year But anyway, I think there should be a 4.0 build somewhere on the internet. Then there was also that 2.3 build which was working correctly but too slow to actually be usable

yeah doubt it, even if you could it would be a very unpleasant experience, especially if your use to the speed of kitkat.
The only reason I'd be happy about it is netflix. For all other purposes Linux > Android

It's plenty available for linux. There is Moonlight, a silverlight plugin, but it doesn't support DRM. The reason netflix uses silverlight is for DRM, pure and simple.

Actually. Kitkat should run fine on the pi. Hardware specs are at minimum. But still acceptable
