The n900 comunity is very big and I think that If htc can, n900 can do it.

That would surely be very cool.

Most likely not to happen.

P.S I'm a very pessimistic person!

Unfortunately there just aren't enough developers interested in porting such thing onto the N900.. (or even the N9).

And I must say that's pretty cool seeing Windows RT on the HD2.. This phone imo is as impressive as the N900 (with the amount of porting that's done to it)..

I don't think it's pointless, I mean it will at least bump up the N900 on the news sites that probably forgot all about it.. :/

I think it is possible because I found RT can run on ARM

Holy ****. The HD2 does Windows RT now?

Cotulla/DFT probably hacked up the Board Support Package for current-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Windows 8 tablets.

How they keep obtaining these BSPs (see WP7 and 8 on HD2), is a mystery.

Not only can they port the whole OS with all the drivers needed, the OS still runs pretty slick on "2009-era hardware".

[And on topic: Unless an OMAP-based Windows RT device comes out, you're out of luck.]

What does all this mean?
Lumia users who are told by MS that their WP7 device can't run WP8 are just being $hafted. Big time.

Just port it, and i'll sell my N900 right away.

Can the win-mobile 7-8 binaries, being compiled for ARM be run with Wine already available on the repos with additional libs?

Good thing nobody mentioned the N9 to be ported to :D
