Allthough you can get windows 95/98 etc working on the device, they are not really usable.... Win7 is a different beast, and apart from it really not being at all usable even if someone could miraculously figure out how to port it, the phone itself is just not designed to run the micro-software. (And doesnt have the three h/w buttons) :D
No sir. really without any criticize. I am thankful to you ppl for answers and really appreciate for your concern to help.

If u can tell onething more, actually, its my first experience to work on Maemo. I used Microsoft Windows always on PC and symbian on Mobiles. So, when I saw WIndows Phone 7, the environment attracted me so I asked...

Experience suggests that would only happen quite some time from now, and only as a proof of concept that would not run very well beyond the fact that it run at all.

In practice, since this sort of OS frontier people no longer feel that Maemo is the future (while MeeGo is), it just will not happen at all.
If you plz explain in simple words??:confused:

Oh!!! I thought you were talking about Ctrl-Alt-Delete :-)

Okay...

1) Techically it can be done using techniques called virtualization or emulation. And only by someone who have access to Windows Phone 7 code so they could put it there.

2) Only a handful of people would do it if they could, and only to prove a point. Once they had proven it could be done, they would put a video on youtube and then abandon it.

3) The handful of people who could have done it if they wanted to, probably no longer feel a need to prove how excellent Maemo is, because they're expecting Meego. Meego is a new/merged operating system that Nokia will be using instead of what we know as Maemo. It is in part based on Maemo.

Edit: I just realized I failed to use simpler words.

Thats right, but it wouldn't have to really be emulated, it really depends on the hardware sets that win 7 mo is released to, i mean some guy got android running and i don't think that was emulated,

You forgot Win7 "features." (As MS see them)

Can't run anything of SQL (databases) which also limit functionality
App's can't communicate with eachother.
Walled garden affair, like the iphone, so you can't mod and develop freely.
And silverlight isn't supported. (There version of flash)

Check these for the "what is missing from Win7"

Only a complete fool would buy something as locked down as this, but the world is full of fools. I mean I bought the N900.

but the difference is, that android is mostly open source. windows phone 7 not.

That was funny, but do you mean only 3 hardware buttons? Because I'm not sure Microsoft specified a maximum. Besides, my n900 has 44 hardware buttons, 4 of which are on the outside. And not that it matters, but it also has 2 sliding switches.

But Win Mobile 7 on the n900 would mean the end of times.
