    If this then makes it possible for some clever ppl to port a dual boot to my M8 then I may actually wet myself with joy. I love this phone but miss my Windows phones.

      AnonD-11164, 14 Aug 2014If the rumour is real, I will definitely replace my Note 3 ... moreAnd hopefully this will lead other manufacturers to follow with the freedom of choosing a platform. And changing it. Would be great! If they would sell a 'blank' phone and upon the first boot, let the user choose the OS. Couple this with Google's modular phone and you have the future right there!

        If the rumour is real, I will definitely replace my Note 3 with the HTC M/W 8. Maybe then I'll stop changing phones and platforms every 3 months (well, phones at least :) )

          This would indeed be a breath of fresh air in the mobile world. Hope to see this in full effect soon.

              Awesome! Let's hope Microsoft won't be problematic in case you want to flash Android back to HTC One M8.

                For me this should be the future of smartphones. Samsung, HTC, LG just doing amazing HW pieces that can boot both Windows and Android. Right now both OS can use the same processors, so why not leave the user to select whichever OS they want? Or maybe have the option to dual boot things, one day windows, the other Android, the best world i could imagine.

                        yeaahhhh ! i guessed it the minute the rumor about this WP one got out ! so if that turn out to be true we got 3 COMPLETLY official choices of roms : The Best looking android theme (sense 6) - PURE google rom - and the fastest operation system with so many potentials (WP8.1)! i'll definitely install the WP version if they implant DOT VIEW support for it!

                          Are these phones the next HD2?
                          I have a feeling there will be dual boot for M8/W8 before the end of the year! :)
