As far as I understand there's technically no obstacle from making the n900 as a host. The guest platform at the moment is Android only from what I know.

Is this something the community is really interested in?
As to the VMware stuff, I know, I mentioned that in my post, as for "android as host" I'm not sure what you mean? The hypervisor is installed on hardware (not software related)? And neither should the guest OS's be? So it would be possible to use what we have at the moment to create a hypervisor for specific devices or one that covers many devices? And by that I don't mean "Vmware player" app, I mean a true bare-metal hypervisor (if that's what you meant about being for Android)?

Well, I was asking whether or not a "hypervisor solution" was something of interest to the community? And seeing the amount of replies I guess not....... personally I think it's a good idea, unless someone wants to give me a reason why it isn't or can't be done rather than just tagging the thread as "just shoot me", glad to see the support here is as strong as ever!

Personally I think that talking about this, as solution to some of the multi-OS device (that I guess we all want) solutions, is better than commenting on whether or not abill_uk should be banned from the forum.....just my opinion.....or should I have done a poll instead???
