Now a reason for living: JooJoo hacked to run Windows 7

  • June 13, 2010 1:16 pm

The JooJoo has faired a bit better overseas than here in the states. It just hasn’t seemed to catch on here. Then again, when facing a $400+ debit going towards your finances, which would you rather have — honestly? In the U.S. it’s unanimously been the iPad. But maybe a little hackery fun can change your views, hmm? In the JooJoo forums, some talented folks have managed to put together the necessary code to get Windows 7 up and running over the JooJoo’s stock UI. Windows 7 isn’t as finger friendly as even the JooJoo’s stock goods, but then again, it’s a full blown desktop OS on a relatively capable tablet.

In other news, if you’re in need of a space heater, word is that the JooJoo strains itself considerably running Redmond’s OS of choice. Better get out those oven mitts if you’re going to play ball. Hop inside for a video of the Windows 7-on-JooJoo action…
