Any Way To Get Windows To Show Up On My Dash?
« on: June 03, 2005, 02:18:00 PM »

i notice the install process of windows is very complicated on the xbox, but is it possible to get it installed and be able to put it in my apps directory then simply selet it to boot windows?

i really doubt this is possible, but i just thought that id ask..

thanks

That depends...

Are you useing a native emulator? Like Dosxbox? Are you using Xbox Linux? Are you talking about CE.NET?

i dont use xbox live.

i haven't made an installation yet, i was just wondering if this is possible. running it on dosbox would be EXTREMELY slow wouldn't it?

i was thinging more like windows 98.

what is ce.net? does it have a gui like win98 and support newer apps? or is it somekind of developer environment?

dosbox is a no for windows emulation.

best way to run windows at the moment is having it emulated through the XDSL linux distribution.
