    Are the OS's integrated? I think it would be cool to make an x86 Android that can run Linux applications as well as Android apps. Or maybe that already exists, idk.

    Windows 8 failed because it tried to turn a PC into a tablet like interface

    Now loading a tablet OS into a PC... i think it will fail for the same reason.

    Its a PC, stop trying to turn it into something else. I love Android but there is no way i would want it on my PC.

    Pretty much what flipfire said.

    If you're going to give users a Windows/Linux dual-boot, might as well give them an actual Linux desktop distro and not a phone OS(!)
