Just a reminder that Microsoft is cool with dual-booting, but only if it's to increase their own marketshare.

In particular, the bit about wanting to dual-boot WP8 on Android phones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6497126

Uh... that looks to me like they want to license WP8 to hardware manufacturers for "Android" marked phones. Where did you get dual-boot from?

They are actually trying it. http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-windows-phone-ch...

OK, once again that article seems to just be making stuff up. Its references don't say anything aside from the fact that MS wants OEMs to put Windows on Android phones, which probably just means offering all Android-exclusive devices with an optional Windows version instead.
