OP you obviously dont know the first thing about computers. I have heard some silly requests in my time but this one takes the cake. A phone does not have the kernel capabilities nor the ram to run a comptuer operating system on it. If you want a laptop buy a laptop. While the TP2 is a powerful phone, it is still that, a phone. This thread is just a waste of server space.

Yes I saw this as well. They were working on a diablo port awhile back to run on it! Its definently plausable.

There were some versions of Windows (NT or 2000 maybe) that did have ARM versions available I think, or something besides x86/x86-64, but the odds of getting it to work on your phone are very slim due to the space limitations.

So it would run big and hairy? I'm confused....

the closest experience to htc touch pro 2 with xp would be buying a UMPC

called E-king s515, the only problem is that the battery lasts like 4 hours at minimum usage, so it would not be as good as running it on the tp2..

even if it was ported you would face a lot of slugishness with the graphic processor power that the tp2 has.
