VIDEO: Windows 7 Running On JooJoo Tablet
It looks like the people over on the JooJoo forums are working hard to run alternative OSes on their devices.
The JooJoo wasn't exactly a hot device when it launched. It was expensive and all it did was surf the web. Unsurprisingly, not many people were willing to fork out $500 for a device that packs a browser and not much else. It's unfortunate, because the device is actually rather sexy looking, but there just wasn't enough going on to tempt people. But what if it ran Windows 7?
A member of the JooJoo forums, darkdavy, has hacked his JooJoo to run Windows 7. He admits that it's running quite hot at the moment but the touchscreen capabilities are in full working order and the battery is lasting up to four hours on one charge. Darkdavy says everything is working fine save for the accelerometers. However, this is easily solved by using display rotation. Engadget points out that other members of the forums have successfully installed Windows 7 Home and Windows Embedded Compact 7 on the Linux-based tablet.
Check out the video below or head on over to the JooJoo forums to see the orignal post for youreself.

Quite hot, are you sure? Why, that's almost alarmingly hot.
If you went to the thread on JooJoo, you would quickly find out that he said it was running "quite hot."

I just quoted from the thread (which it also says in this article). And obviously this has some drawbacks, as the JooJoo only has a 4gb SSD. So you have to install a vlite version of Windows... and you won't exactly have much room for anything else.
It's like a PC vs a fat shiny phone.
Fusion Garage is a terrible and devious company. Stole the idea of an open tablet, and made it their own for profit.
So what you're saying is every product made, excluding the original, is stealing? Hell, 100% of companies are thieves then. Better get them all shut down and the CEO's and Presidents in prison.
Yep, it's crap from what I've seen. $500 to "try" and run windows on a device and you won't even have support from the company that sold it? Not from my wallet.
What about running programs externally via USB hard drive?
Maybe he is talking about this: http://econsultancy.com/blog/5047-crunchpad-fiasco-think-ip-isn-t-important-think-again
2) There are efforts underway to locate larger compatible mSata SSD drives.
3) You can always use the USB port for secondary storage.
I think its a lovely 1st Generation product, but now that the public feedback is coming in they should look at a Version 2 with some improvements.
If you don't want to hack, wait for ExoPC or Asus to release theirs.
So you have to carry two things instead of one? Talk about adding bulk. Might as well just buy a laptop and be done with it.
Can you do better?
