My Xoom running Windows 8

...well... not exactly running it. But I think that would be quite awesome. I thought some of you might enjoy this.

And for added overkill, the machine I'm remoted into for this picture is my MacBook Pro which is running Windows 8 as a VM.

While we know that it will never happen, wouldn't it be cool to have a Xoom dual-booting Android and Windows 8?

I know. But a launcher isn't an OS.

I use multiple remote apps for varying purposes. In this particular example, it is LogMeIn.

From where did you get the copy of Windows 8

I'm Running android 4.0 and using ADW launcher and made tiles for the screen and background. Looks just like windows 8 and I still have 4.0

Main Concern for windows 8 on xoom would be

UEFI secured boot
and Driver support

Could you actually use the touch interface through, logmein? I wouldn't think the drivers would be installed.
