WIndows on Palm?

Question

I am a power user of Windows, and in writing my last blog (win2go.blogspot.com) which was about using VMware to create a portable windows image that you can take with you in the form of an SD card or Flash drive of 2GB of more; would it be possible to install windows directly to SD card of 2GB or more, and then boot from it on my Palm Tungsten E2 running Palm OS Garnet 5.4? What about my Samsung Blackjack running Windows Mobile 6?

This brought up another question. Can I install a version of VMware to install windows to on any of these devices? Is there even a mobile-like version of VMware?

I fully understand that this is possible with Linux, and have successfully done it in the past (using cocoboot to open the kernel) but windows just seems impossible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Windows on PPCs isn't loaded like on PCs. It is flashed into a ROM chip. Like a PC running Windows, it will boot only from the place it is installed, the ROM in this case. It isn't smart enough to dual boot.

Hope that helps
