Always wanted the feature of dualboot android and windows that was a big part of the transformer line with your own hardware? Well you can do it, with Console OS!

Built on 4.4, it's largest, most important feature is that it has support for x86 processors used in modern PCs, along side with ARM support aswell for something like the Surface RT.

Another big feature is their "insta-switch", which allows you to quickly switch between both OS's.

What do you guys think? Any real value to this, because I currently see none, I'd rather just run a Linux/Windows dualboot on my tablet/PC.

This would be fun on something like a Asus t100 but it was already possible to dualboot android x86 but it required a bit more work.

But but Android is free and opensource???/

it should be free because it's based on an open source product.

ASUS had notebook with Android and Windows running on same hardware and supporting easy switching. MS and Google didn't like the idea. This sounds a bit familiar.
