Android on Windows, and it is smooooth

Hey all, not sure if you have all heard about this or not, but I saw it fairly recently, and figured I would try it out. This isn't the first Android X-86 style project I have seen, but it is by far the best one I have tried yet. So, it also got me thinking....who thinks it would be fun to see Linus run Android benchmarks on PC? Personally, I think it would give a really interesting view on just how far the mobile platform really would have to go before they could ever hope to catch up to PC. Anyway, rambling now. Here's the site.

That's so cool. Now you can run a shitty OS inside a shitty OS. Amazing.

How are either shitty? Please don't tell me you're an OSX fanboy.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I tried x86 Android on Windows years ago. Extremely pointless.

Both OS's are amazing on their intended devices. Windows for PC's. Android on phones/tablets.

I'm on a loaner PC (mine is in the shop), and although it is by no means what I would prefer to be running, it is still able to handle everything buttery smooth. I'm currently on an AMD FX-4300, 4GB of DDR3, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT620 with 1GB DDR3. Pretty crappy loaner, but still...much amaze....such wow.

 

Also, please ignore the iSheep. No one cares.

How is this any different than Bluestack?

Not saying Bluestack is bad...but it always seemed a little incomplete to me. It was a little on the buggy side. The reason I shared this one is that it is the smoothest Android emulator I have used to date. They really put in a lot of time on this, and it shows.

I'm a windows fanboy when it comes to desktops, an OS X fanboy when it comes to laptops and an Android fanboy when it comes to phones.

 

Am I cool?

Let me see:

Bugs, crashes, poor performance on hardware that other OS run perfectly on with the same features and functionality, system resource usage. Need I go on?

Well in that case, you aren't a "fanboy". I classify someone as a fanboy as someone who has total ignorance to the other option. For example, how many pc players are about console players. Or how people will fight over nvidia and amd.
