What's the state of reactos for arm?
It could be nice to run on the n900 applications that you have programmed for x86 Windows. (Even if you have to recompile for "windows-arm" which does not even exist with MS.)
This would be a more complete "Windows" on n900 than W7phone.
And you could run windows.net.
Windows recently announced an ARM port themselves. I'd pay to not use Windows but there's hope for others
