I don't think you can VNC into a machine that is booting up, so unless im dumb this is running natively and so can windows 7.

There is a cloud service out there (listed in a different post) that offers virtual machines from the cloud, so in effect, you can connect to a PC that is booting up.

Won't say you're dumb but I will say you must not have watched that video for comprehension. It was explained very clearly what was going on, and running Windows 7 natively certainly was NOT it.

I think more correctly, Windows currently runs on x86/x64 architecture, not just Intel chips. Interestingly, Microsoft is expected at CES to announce a version of Windows for ARM processors, so it is quite possible that when that comes out it will be possible to install Windows on the iPad. I can't imagine the experience would be great, but it might be possible.

You're correct, of course, I should have been more precise.

As to Microsoft and the ARM. If they do bring out an ARM version, it will (rightly) be designed to be used on tablets and smartphones and so won't be XP or 7. It'll be something different. So the answer to the OP question is still "no". Not at the current time. And probably not ever.

You're thinking of VNCing into a single user machine. You can definitely VNC into a virtual machine server and watch the virtual machine boot up. That's what you're seeing in these videos.

Personally I love the Apple OS

Nothing wrong with that either. There is a lot to love about such a simple but functional design. But as far as user features go, it leaves a lot to be desired.
