Windows 8 on skate?

[Guest jtharmor]

Is this possible :)

[Guest HeikoH]

No.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Wow. You must have been feeling really brave to post that!

[Guest merlijn1111]

Maybe, but not now.

Microsoft is also working on ARM versions of Windows 8, called Windows RT. http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Windows_RT

If it will run on skate is still a question.

Nope. Look at the minimum specs for RT. Way above what we have. And it's closed source, so definitely not

[Guest merlijn1111]

You are right, i didn't even look into the specs, i just knew that they were working on it! LOL!

Despite the fact that it is closed source, it still might be possible to port it to other devices, with the correct specs. But that's not a discussion for this forum.

I agree after looking into the specs that won't be available for the Skate in any way.

[Guest Neil305]

Do you actually mean "Windows 8", or are you talking about "Windows Phone 8"? The answer would still be no, but it would be a slightly less stupid question.

WE CANNOT RUN WINDOWS ON THE SKATE.

WE CANNOT RUN WINDOWS ON THE SKATE.

Problem solved.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Problem solved.

No more posts on this topic please. It's just not gonna happen. You'd get banned from posting on XDA for posting that.

[Guest jtharmor]

He he.....its a better question than ppl asking about flashlight on skate....;)

[Guest utternoob]

No. Both are annoying

[Guest tilal6991]

Neither are ever going to happen.

Windows 8 needs a windows boot loader and armv7 processor. Neither of which we have...

[Guest utternoob]

Am I right in thinking it would be HD2 only then from android phones?

[Guest tilal6991]

Yep. Mainly because it's originally a Windows Mobile 6 device.

[Guest omegavesko]

Not going to happen for several reasons, most of which already mentioned. It requires several things we don't have, not to mention the fact that the codebase isn't available to us, so there's not much we can do to port it.

As said before, the HD2 can run Windows simply because it's a Windows Mobile device, which came with Windows out of the box and had Android ported to it.

[Guest jtharmor]

Nice answer....noob ppl got irritated with this question.....;).....obviously if you don't know answer you will:)

I've got to be honest, my dad has just got a Windows phone and I absolutely love it.

[Guest utternoob]
