Think of it this way. Let's say I bought a fairly new desktop PC. I then have several choices when it comes to the OSes that we have out in the market that I can install. Lets be creative in this example that I'm going to provide. I partition the hard drive and install Windows 8, Ubuntu 12, Debian Squeeze & Windows 98. Now, my point here is that the desktop 'HARDWARE' is capable. Compare it with the N9. The N9 is capable also right?

Going back to the desktop example, since the hardware is more than capable of running Windows 98, I see this as being 'BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE.' Let us consider now the N900, the community was able to run a Windows OS variant via emulation wherein Windows is a proprietary OS, the source code isn't available. I highly doubt it that Microsoft gave us the source code when we emulated their OS on our N900s. In this light, I think that Nokia is becoming 'EVIL' also like Microsoft.

To sum it up, we do have the image file that we use to flash our N900 devices right? I was thinking then:

@ Either reverse engineer the image file to reveal the closed-source code then run it natively using our N9 meego/harmattan hardware & software ( less the fragile USB port, cannot read SIM card problems, etc. that we have on our N900s ); or

@ Create an emulator on the N9 to run the N900 image file.

Possible?
