Microsoft partnered with major global smartphone maker Xiaomi to make a ROM that would run the Windows 10 mobile technical preview.  At their conference earlier this summer, Microsoft said 

 

Through a new program with Xiaomi Inc., one of the top smartphone distributors in the world, a select group of Xiaomi Mi 4 power users will be invited to help test Windows 10 and contribute to its future release later this year. They will have the opportunity to download the Windows 10 Technical Preview, install it and provide their feedback to Microsoft.

Microsoft has confirmed since that all owners of the Mi 4 can flash the windows 10 technical preview to their phones.  This could be a big splash in the market for custom ROM users and makers

I would have finished that but i got distra-oh my god is that Linus!?

Unless they make it open-source, then they will have to make all the custom roms themselves or leave that to manufacturers(they can barely build a decent Android rom, let alone a Windows one...)

Nice. Though I expect to see a real flagship for W10 mobile in time. It shaped up really well and wouldn't mind having phone with it.

a dual boot of this would be really cool. I wouldn't mind having a phone like that.
