Would you be able to run windows in a virtual environment ( vmware--virtualbox etc )

Sorry if the question is dumb

It might run in Bochs, a fully software-simulated x86 environment. But it wouldn't know how to deal with the actual CPU.

And if it would run, it would be about as fast as a 4.77 MHz PC could handle. Maybe.

gus3: How much do you know about the Snapdragon? It's a processor I'm really not familiar with.

It's ARM-based.

gus3: Thank you. Lots of ARM boxes at Computex then. I wonder if we will see any with Texas Instruments' implementation as well.
