Run Android on your desktop computer

With everybody porting desktop operating systems to mobile devices, we’ve always wondered if anybody would do the opposite. Looks like our wishes have been granted – a developer from XDA-developers, tomlogan1, has successfully ported the mobile operating system over to the desktop. Sure it isn’t a total port- you won’t be able to boot into Android; it’s more like a virtual machine that runs Android on your desktop. If you’ve always wanted to test out Android apps or the user interface to get the feel of it before investing in an Android phone, it sounds like a pretty good idea. All you have to do is download the free program from the official Androidx86 website and you’re pretty much good to go. Now let’s see if anybody will bring iOS, Windows Phone 7 or webOS to the desktop.
