Hi guys. Has anyone seen this vid? It appears that the N800 is running Windows natively. This can not be possible...

Maybe some of the experts here can see if it is a hoax.

Here you go:

I myself am not sure.

Cannot be nativly. N800=arm. xp=x86

Could be vnc or rdesktop. Probably rdesktop. Not a very creative hoax...

That is what made me hesitate, qwerty12.

Man, wouldn't it be great if true though

I couldn't care less even if it was true...

Heh. And now I notice the video was by the only person on this forum I have on ignore because they kept PM-ing me for warez.

It's clearly rdesktop.

Total Hoax. The NITs use a completely different instruction set than is supported by any modern version of Windows. Haven't looked at the video, but it was likely created with VNC or Remote Desktop. These days, Windows only runs on x86 and the 64bit variations of same. The Itanium 64 bit architecture is still supported (for various interpretations of supported) on some high end server versions of Windows. NT4 was really the last major version of Windows that supported really "different" architectures. You could run it on a pretty wide variety of MIPs, Alpha and PowerPC architectures, as well as x86. I remember playing around with a DEC Alpha workstation running NT4 in college. It absolutely blew away any x86 box the school had at the time in terms of raw interger and float performance and had a pretty revolutionary piece of software (for the time) called FX!32 that would translate x86 instructions at better than 50% of native performance, most of the time.

Yea, the ARM processor is not capable of running Windows, I thought the man was a genius, but then I saw that he played Club Penguin and Runescape

It's somekind of web based service that you can run your apps from a central location using flash. I barely understand but can't run windows on n800 without an emulator and would take hours just to load, look at the emulator for win 95 on n800. Pretty interesting though. Dan
