I want this so bad!

what is the first step?
It's not going to happen unless you port it, and it's basically the same question as "I want ios on my phone so bad, how can I get this?

If you want ios buy an iPhone.
If you want windows buy a windows phone.

There's a reason we all don't have either one of those.

I think can port it but not entirely sure I have never done a port before but I really want to attempt it. I will need help and support and questions answered. I am a windows phone rom developer. I know I'm not the only one who wants to see this.

That's why I start this thread and ask what is the first step?

I know that we need a dump and drivers to work with. and something to cook with.

Well I suppose a windows compatible boot loader would be first then porting the drivers from android to windows this phone has full source released so your not going to get any thing new for it.

The thing would be is getting windows to recognize this as valid hardware.

Also I don't want windows 8 on my phone I have used it on my laptop it sucked making me think about going to Linux since Microsoft has decided touch interfaces are the future and made windows go full retard.

If you honestly want real development help try posting this In the developer section, rephrase the question a little better though so you get some real responses.

I was talking about the whole thing. The bootloader and partitions are not compatible you are going from android to the mobile version of windows 8.

You said earlier about winmo and win 8 being totally different android and winmo is also totally different.
