Hi guys...
I've seen on youtube that someone succeeded to dual boot android and maemo on n900 , but can any one tell me how could he do that?

and Is it possbile to dual boot maemo and windows mobile ?
can any one tell me how plz?

what if I wanted to boot android or windows mobile only and remove the maemo from my system , is that possible also?

I'm actually a new user of linux operating systems .

Thanks ..

Quite an aggressive responce!

Anyone with real info? Why would WinMo be different to say Ubuntu on N900?

Ubuntu is open source whereas winMo is not, therefore it's far too much work (not that I'm an expert).

But not having the source code makes things very difficult.

Ah, D'uh of course. Didn't think about the openness (or the lack of there of).

Thanks.

I wouldn't say it's 110% impossible, look at some of the SmartQ products - they can dual-boot Windows CE and Linux.

But it's like what rash.m2k said - it theoretically could be done, however we simply don't have the proper resources/power to make it happen.

sry for my agressivity.... first wm is not runnin @ n900 yet.... and it wil never run beacause microsoft wouldnt open source it... and who would work so much to port a so much crappy system....

second... no runnin wm = no dualboot
but if it would run on n900 there would dualboot too

third.... dont believe youtube.... there are so many fakes out there....
