and windows - dragon1993 - 28-09-2011

I have looked every where I can think to look for downloads or something along those lines to install windows on my tablet. I have a Dell streak 7 tablet, and so far have only been able to find Dos-Box for it, which is OK when I want to emulate old PC games, but since I also have a psp 2001 with windows 98 and Ubuntu on it, I want to do the same thing with my Dell streak, and play relatively newer games on it, like "the Moon project" or "home world 2". I guess i would like to know of a way to either Launch .exe files or run at least a full WIN98 O.S. but i would prefer to have XP on my tablet.

All help is greatly appreciated!!!:yay

I'd look around for WINE on android.

How much RAM is in one of those things? Does XP support touch screen gestures?

I did think to look for wine, but i cant find it any where, at least not one capable of running games or simple software.

You could install debian on it, and VNC into debian, from the Android OS I suppose.

You WOULD say that!

It's genuinely the best way to do it
