Re: Possible to run Windows XP/2k on Touch Pro2?

The TP2 has a ARM CPU, not an x86 CPU, windows other than the ones with CE core would not run.

SO no winxp or win2000, not even win95.

Re: Possible to run Windows XP/2k on Touch Pro2?

What about the x86 Emulators?
I am not looking for blazing speed...

Re: Possible to run Windows XP/2k on Touch Pro2?

The best Ive seen a TP2 run as far as desktop OS is Ubuntu..then from there I guess you can try running a windows emulator in ubunto..but can't guarantee anything...

Win95 yes. Look around a bit and you'll find a fully functioning retail copy of Win95 out there for use

Re: Possible to run Windows XP/2k on Touch Pro2?

Before you try to run a desktop O/S on it (and remember this is ON TOP of an emulator, if one exists) remember you're running it on a 500 MHz CPU with less then 256 MB memory. "Not looking for blazing speed" is going to be an UNDERSTATEMENT of how bad it'll be (again if such a thing even exists)
