Hello guys,
There was a post on a developers section that has opened my mind to an interesting wondering.
That guy asked if it's possible to run Windows8 (not a WindowsPhone 8) on our galaxy i9000.
I'm sure that most of xda users here know about HTC HD2's capability to run many operating system like WindowsPhone 7and all the android versions, and since i9000 is a very powerful device why wouldn't it be capable of running Windows Phone 7 or 8 in the future..
Simple,
Android = Open source
Windows Phone & iOS X = Closed/Proprietary
No like the guy said above windows ate very strict with there electronics

Wow, you wanna argue?
"windows ate very strict with there electronics" WTF are you on about? 'ate', of course 'Windows Phone 'ATE' strict rules like iOS. Lol, symbian has better apps than WP whatta a serious troll.
Android>iOS>RIM/Symbian>Windows Mobile
Would take RIM/Symbian over windows phone anyway. Same with Windows 8 and it's metro ui

Please don't

i dont think it is possible is it?
I wanna see if it can be done, im not saying im leaving android behind but of android can be ported to the hd2 surely we can port win mo to nexus?
Because it's not open source.
No, it won't be done. It's a HUGE waste of time.
Why would someone want debian or ubuntu on their nexus ones? Because it can be done of course!
But, as others have said, win mo is a closed source operating system, meaning it would be impossible at best.
For the same reason, they've gotten android running on the iPhone, but you won't ever see iOS running on an HTC device
I've been developing applications for computers since 2005, 3 years ago I've started developing mobile applications for Windows Mobile. I felt in love with mobile development since then. When iOS came out I couldn't go for it because of two things, first: Objective-C, I have a big problem with C languages, I hate C and I can't develop on it, also Objective-C is a lot worst than standard C. Second: I had to have a Mac and on those days I hated Macs and I was one of those Linux fanboys.

It has an opinion, if you read the entire article you might see that I've wrote it and this ain't be just an article about holywars, but for the developers to express themselves.

JQTouch is just a UI tool, like jQuery Mobile, Wench's Touch and others. What I mean on the article is the incompactibilities that the Android platform has.

Lol, had no idea you were the author! In that case, cliffes notes please? Dev stuff gives my brain the aches
I have an HP Pavilion dv4. And I was wondering if I could update to another software. Either Linux or Mac. I was wondering which was better as in perfomance and compatibility. I was also wondering if it was possible to do such.
Thanks in advance. I don't care if this question results in an opinion. That is my intention. To see what the thoughts are of the operating system.
Also, It'd be best if you do not trash an Operating system if you don't have it. It wouldn't make sense.
This will result in being your opinion. It depends on what you are planning to do with the PC. If you are planning to go into rom development, then Linux would be your best choice. If you just want a PC for gaming, everyday tasks, etc., then Windows would be your best option. Mac - I really don't see what that's good for . But once again, it's your opinion.
Putting OSX in "non-apple" hardware is technically illegal.
For general users, a lot of apps may not be compatible with Linux so it depends what you'll be using it for.
So unless you have a specific purpose or function to run Linux, stick with Windows..
Theonew is once again correct, Linux for developers and geeks etc.. Windows for Gamers and normal people. Mac is really for people that do video/photo editing and design and stuff like that. That's where you missed the point Theonew
Final Cut Pro is cutting edge in video editing and as a result it's only available for Mac OS X...
Well.. I want a pc with Geek super abilities since I do have an Android. So that crosses Mac off the list. Mac is of more use for people with iDevices
At the same time I want to play games like Minecraft.
Will Linux run .exe programs or is it like mac.. I highly doubt it will run .exe programs.. but better safe then sorry

Linux will not run executable files. It uses archives instead (e.g. tgz).
Moved to Off-Topic.
Why dont you try dual boot? You will have the best of both OS's.
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium HD app
If you're interested in trying out different operating systems why don't you look into virtualization such as VMware.
You can use wine to run exe files on linux. However if you're just a casual user then it's really just a waste for you to try a Linux OS.
$1 gets you a reply

Is it illegal or simply a violation of TOS/User agreement?
There is a difference. One is criminal and the other is civil.
If you deem it "illegal" then how so? Just curious.

For ubuntu, just download wubi (available here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer)
It will beautifully setup a dualboot with windows and get your Linux environment setup in minutes. But one disclaimer, you will have to figure out how to get WiFi working. HP laptops and wireless don't get along well, be prepared to take some time to find the drivers. But if your using ethernet, you will probably be ready to go right out of the box

Did a quick search and found an issue with wifi on an HP Pavilion DV4 laptop. The fix was said to install "b43-fwcutter" & "bcmwl-kernel-source" (Source - Linuxquestions.org). You may want to take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8848735&postcount=5.

Why you're confusing poor guy...everyone in the world knows, that SGN hardware is limited to run Win XP only...nztechblog, I suggest you to install Windows 95 - it's a blast on Galaxy Note!
So can you install win 7 on SGN?

Probably not.if you can it will be slow

Either you are talking about windows phone 7 or you are looking at terminal clients.
For the first i'm guessing that there is a better change of wp8 running on your phone. for the second you can look at Remote Desktop by Xtralogic.
I really hope that wp8 rom will be released for samsung note. Would be something really refreshing
Windows is a closed platform so it aint gonna happen

Not going to happen there is no source for windows phone and no drivers for the notes hardware just not going to happen.
And to answer open in theory you could run windows 7 via a emulator much the same ways xp and 95 is run however the lag would make it completely unuseable

arm instructionset should be binary compatible. So i don't think there is a problem with having no source. Much the same as that windows runs on any pc regardless off driver support. (ok drivers are needed for peripherals but windows runs well on intel as on amd as on VIA
OP sir the anwser is no.
Thank you.
simple question with simple answers.
YES ... if you do.
NO ... if you dont.
I use my Xperia X1 as my reserve phone.
thanks, the reason i ask is because im making a game (alpha atm) and want to see if there are still people that use WM 6.x with a WVGA res.

according to your profile you are 107 years old so i guess your time machine has worked (great scott!!) or did that time machine give you a bump on the head?
yes its 2013 and yes there are people who still do use WM6.x because its stable and reliable with a mature community behind it.
i have a samsung omnia i910, i think its wvga. i still use it
