Good luck with that.

Where exactly do you think you'll get the drivers for the GSM chipset? Or other drivers for N900 unique hardware? WM is outdated, drivers wise, and generally doesn't have drivers for phones it doesn't ship on. May as well try to install XP or Win7. (In fact, that may be easier.)

N900's "unique hardware" is somewhat documented, and thus you could develop the drivers given enough free time. The rest (including drivers and BSP) is provided by TI. Though you'll need quite a bit of good luck to get to them. The "worst" part (aka the GSM, bme, etc.) I have no idea.

Basically, you would be a bit less limited than when trying to port your average kernel (since, for a start, you'd have drivers for the OMAP3).

I think the possibility of running selected WM software on the n900 could be cool. Like Wine with WM support.. As the people say there are software that would be interesting but who want's the WM os on the N900, that's not why i bought the phone and frankly will i would never install such thing.
