I wonder if this could be made to run on the N900 hardware:

Looks like it is compiled for ARM. Device drivers might be tricky, unless there are generic/nonnokia WinCE drivers out there for the N900 hardware set.
I know talking about Windows on N900 is heretical, but the N900 is by definition a device for heretics, so cut me some slack here.
Maybe using Mer/MeeGo drivers as a reference might speed things up, but again, I highly doubt it.

That is the orthodox response.
I get the sentiment. But it would be an interesting experiment nonetheless.

100% arm but not sure what it would offer for at least 2 years.

windows wouldn't be as bad as anything from apple....linux would be the ideal (or Utopian as pseudo-philosophers would call it), windows would be the USA and Apple would be Nazi Germany

I kind of like the idea.
Linux is great but is only for techies.
wouldn't it be possible to try this out on a vm first???
Microsoft has changed a lot over the years, for example they even acquired sysinternals, and those guys from sysinternals certainly have impacted products like windows 7 & 2008 for the better.
I sense this version, has also been influenced by them.

So, stop talking, get a license (they're free if you, your company or your university is subscribed to MSDN) and start writing the drivers.
There's no impediment other than it being a massive time sink.
