Hello, I was wondering if somehow you could boot windows 8 on android with something like a USB stick? If I get a tablet that is powerful enough, do you think it could run windows smoothly? I've seen a couple videos on YT showing this, does it really work? It seems really easy in the video.

Some tablets do have an x86 base. Android tablets don't.

But your second link seems to say it is easy and painless. Did you try it?

No, I currently don't have a tablet to test it on. That's a reason I was asking because I'm deciding whether I want a tablet, or laptop. I thought it would be pretty cool to have a windows 8 tablet, so it could also run desktop applications. I'm looking at the Asus Transformer because its kinda the best of both worlds.
