Let me put it this way. WinDOZE Mobile is the binary equivelant of hitting yourself in the head with a hammer a few times. Which is exactly what you will want to do after a long enough experience with yet another bug-ridden piece of Micro$oft crap.

The biggest problem is. A legal one. Since there is to the best of my knowledge no way to purchase a Win License without it being contractually tied to a device it's already installed on.

Then you have the legal hassle surrounding the DSP chips and the licenses for running them (if you want sound) In short, if I knew a way and were to tell you I would be breaking any number of laws. Don't know how so I can't break the law, but you get my point.

I have also wondered this. I think it would be great to just mess around with it.
I am surprised that I cannot find anything online about anyone even trying to install Windows Mobile on the tablet.
Has anyone heard any new news on this?

I have not wondered this. You would have to pay Microsoft an ungodly amount of money to do this and it is just not worth it. After I've had a few PPC's running Windows mobile, and switching to the Nokia IT's, I'll say that I will never go back again.

There's no-one who could do it apart from Microsoft. It's a non-starter.
