Android quicken 2011

[lfcone]

Hello,
Can I put my quicken checking system on an Android tablet

i am 99.9% sure the answer is NO since the program iwas written for Windows and Android is a Unix/Linux based system.

not sure if the is a Windows emulator. Don't think there is

This is not possible. Even if an emulator for windows was made on the android platform it would be like trying to run Crysis on windows 7 on old 300Mhz pentium CPU. the differences between Android being a unix/linux system and windows not being one aren't the only problems, windows isn't yet made to even run on the ARM processor architecture.

You would need to emulate a different CPU and operating system and emulating stuff is extremely inefficient, you lose a large portion of performance. On top of that lost performance you are already trying to do this on an already very slow processor of a tablet... sorry but it will not work with the way things are right now.

There are even more problems but I think the point is made. It is theoretically possible to emulate pretty much any system or any other system but in use the performance hit is so great and on a tablet there already isn't much performance to begin with that it isn't practical to make a windows emulator on any phone/tablet device.

it might work when they come out with the Windows tablets

Windows tablets aren't supposed to be compatible with all preexisting Windows software so no, not really. The biggest performance problem in emulation is different architectures. The different operating systems is important but less important.

Windows for tablets could help slightly but the emulation is still unlikely.

There is software called Qemu... You might get something running with it but it would still be unbelievably slow.
