What Windows 8 looks like on an HP TouchPad

Windows 8 will be the first full version of Windows to support ARM-based hardware. That means you may be able to run the OS on tablets such as the HP TouchPad.

There's currently no way to install Windows 8 on the TouchPad, or other ARM-based computers, but by using the Splashtop Remote HD app for webOS you can remotely login to a computer running Windows 8 to get an idea of what the operating system will look like on this tablet.

i have that same exact tablet. BUT IM GIVING it to my girlfriend do you happen to know if windows 8 will run itunes and much other stuff? i mean will it run everything that windows 7 did?

[BradLinder]

@iTzBRYANT113 Nope. Apps designed for older versions of Windows with x86 processors won't run on ARM-based tablets. It's also not clear if Windows 8 will ever actually run on the TouchPad. It will just run on tablets *like* this.

I have tried on my computer and the only i know that will run is iTunes, Quicktime player, and othe basic/ small applications. openGL 2 is not yet supported.

@kestaggtx i meant the netbook not the tablet i accidentally got mixed up. and why should someone be burned for having itunes on it if they have a ipod? are you that far up Microsoft's ass you cant use apples software?

[counterplex]

Brad, you should've mentioned that you're running it via Splashtop right away.

@iTzBRYANT113 iTunes on Windows 8 on an HP Touchpad? You need to be burned at the stake for heresy. Windows 8 on the Touchpad then stop there.

If this is it then apple will crucify them out of business.

@ctsincebay Despite your stupid talk, I can see no link yet..... I admit your girlfriends landing zone wouldnt be enough for a boeing. But Im still kinda curious about that "public girly boy" video. Could you please post a link or smthing ?

[ctsincebay]

@DukceSeekersSeeker hah 5'1" 95 lbs is not fat! besides, despite having apologized it doesn't negate the fact that you're a pubic girly boy

[DukceSeekersSeeker]

@ctsincebay Could you please post a a link to that video ?. Poory americans :( Do you always use your girlfriend as an argument ? I feel sorry for your country with black prezident (I will bet a next will be chinese), I feel sorry for your fat girlfriend (I will bet for anything that I can park a boeing in her ass), and I feel especially sorry for you because if you would look a few pages back you could see I apologized.

@DukceSeekersSeeker HAHAHAH I saw the video where you were having an epileptic seizure to some music with your skinny ass in SKINNY JEANS (otherwise known as girls' jeans that queer guys wear) hahahhaahhah Dude my girlfriend is headed to the store. Should I have her pick up a box of pads for you? LOL Seriously I feel sorry for you.
