If VMWare ever feels like doing it, possibly. It'd be slow as all get out, what with it only having 256MB of RAM.

AFAIK, VMware does not have an ARM build of their hypervisor..

AFAIK no word regarding public release, but they've apparently got it running.

Even if they did, what would be the point?

If you want to virtualize an ARM environment, just run user-mode-linux. It's the only decent ARM os anyway.

Something like bochs which emulates a CPU and ISA/PC architecture might do the trick for virtualizing a windows box.

This might work I have been trying to install on my old N800 but have not had time to play with it. I would like to see Overclocked N900 try this Hypervisor Client from Citrix Xen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msyvp...eature=related I would like to see my N800 stream boot Windows 7 some day or maybe Mac Osx. Here is Arm version that might work http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/dow...ost1349860#top Here is more info http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...423&CatId=2313 on Hp thin client system that boots a http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=vc-65341-1 small Debian Arm based Os that one could hack. Maybe some talented Maemo Linux guy can help us (Please !!!!)
