There is no way, forget about it.

Out of curiosity - why do you want WP8 on n900? What is missing in maemo5?

I think OP wants to flash the N900 using a machine running Windoze 8, rather than flash Windoze Phone 8 on to the N900.

He's talking about using a Windows 8 PC to reflash N900 not to run other OS on the device itself.

It can be done, though it's a little difficult. Basically you need to install the flasher as usual. If your Windows is x64 you then need to disable driver signature reinforement. To to that, open PC settings, click advanced startup and on the boot screen select disable driver signature enforcement (I think it's option no. 7 but not sure). Then you need to install the latest version of libusb-win32 from here (install the relevant x86 or x64 package according to your system). After that launch an elevated cmd and flash as usual.

Thanks Marxian for your help!!!!
By the way, i'm thinking about moving back to Windows XP. It was easier to use with the N900. Too many question and incompatibilities with Windows 7

I don't think that'll be a good idea. In about one year all support for Windows XP, including security updates, will be terminated. After that time it will be inadvisable to have it installed.
