Hi all,
As Cotulla ported windows RT to the HD2 what is the likelyhood that we could get this booting on the PI?
Microsoft don't release the sources to the public, and Microsoft have minimum specs that manufacturers have to follow before they give them the source. Besides, the processor would be too slow and I have Windows 8 Pro on my PC anyway.

And people don't realize how limited RT is. You HAVE to run apps off the store. You can't run or install executable files.

Do you know what the HTC HD2 is?
Its a Old windows Mobile phone Arm6 1gbz 512 meg ram.
If Windows RT can be ported to that it can be ported to the PI.
You should read the artical on the Portal before you make sweeping comments like we need the source or it doesn't meet the specs.
Yeah, but didn't the HD2 have Android and Windows Phone 7.

Ported to it. It only shipped with windows mobile 6.5
That's interesting. Thought you could choose to run Android 2.3 or Windows Phone 7. I might be thinking of another phone. :what:

Nope it only shipped with windows mobile 6.5. XDA has kept the device alive by porting anything that will run on arm to it.
Yeah, I'm deffo thinking of another device.
It would be interesting to run it on the Pi, but I wouldn't use it as I have it on my desktop machine. Hats off to you if you manage to port it! Good luck!

I'm not sure that Windows RT supports architectures older than Arm-v7.
You may run Windows Embedded Compact 7 (aka Win CE) on it. You can find BSPs on here:

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).

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

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

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

Thank you.

great, now we only need some dev who wants to do that, if no one appears I'm thinking about trying to do it myself and let's see what happens
Quit asking!
1) Look up the hardware requirements. If you meet or exceed minimum specs,
2) Post the question in a thread dedicated to YOUR device. Most likely there will be a dev or a team interested in porting from the gnex ubuntu image to your device.
The availability of a ported image to any device usually depends on the willingness and skill of a dev using your same device.

I really haven't used the Apple OS for more than a minute at the apple store, So I couldn't personally know.

Depends on your needs.
I have an iMAC, the OSX is used no more than web browsing. I run windows VM through VMfusion to do almost everything.
