Running Windows Vista and 7 on a Shite PC
Tatsujin:
My little cousin was able to run Vista 32-bit on a PSP. I played around with it. It had a lot of features, but was missing other features. I booted up IE8 and other smaller programs. I hope they'd crack and add Windows 7 on the PSP. Lol, fun to see it running on a small screen.

Hahaha. Interesting post. Makes me wonder then why my Q6600 with Radeon 2600 XT and 2 GB ram freezes on W7 RC1. I blame torrents compounded with a poor hard drive.

I call shenanigans on that. The PSP uses a non-X86 CPU, only has 2MB of video memory, and 32MB of system memory. Either your cousin was using VNC, or is super ultimate 1337 hacker.

I also have no idea. But I confirm with my eyes, fingers and hands that I did touch it and played around with the menu. The background, start button, menus were all like Vista. Hell, when you even open up the computer properties too. Tho' I did mention there were some programs that weren't on there mostly because it wouldn't run on the PSP. The mouse was the analog stick you have. It was amazing but at the same time weird. The response time was a bit slower than a modern PC, like running Penitum 4 with 1GB Ram and a low-level video card (if anyone experienced that).

He was probably VNCing to a PC that was running 7. The PSP doesn't even use the same type of CPU as a PC. It's closer to that of old Macs. In order to run Windows 7 on the PSP, you would have to have access to the source code, and recompile it to run on the PSPs type of processor. I'd believe you if you said that he had Linux, an old version of Mac OS, or Windows CE running, but not Windows 7.
