Feature Request:

The failure of Linux on Dex has disappointed a lot of it's users, and for those of us who bought the last few generations of Galaxy devices for that type of functionality, there's a demand and a real need for a replacement. 

Given that Microsoft has developed a version of Windows that runs on the ARM architecture and the incredible processing power and memory capabilities of Galaxy S and Galaxy Note devices, I propose that Samsung enable users to securely create a second partition on their devices and pay for a Windows license to run on it. 

I believe this type of functionality would secure Samsung as a leader of innovation and create new incentives for smartphone buyers to choose a Galaxy device over other competitors.

I thought the version of Windows you are referring to was made for computers and laptops that use chips with the ARM architecture--I don't think it's intended for use on Android phones. None of the Windows emulator programs for Linux works with Dex? It seems simpler to figure out a way to run the Windows version of Dex on Linux than to create an Android phone that can boot into Windows. I don't see any real market for that capability either. Microsoft is working on a cloud version of Windows that runs off any web browser and will run Windows programs on Linux, Chromebooks, Apple computers and likely any other device with a web browser and internet connection. That would probably make a dual partition phone that can boot into Windows obsolete before Samsung could even release it.

Windows, have you already been able to add the exynos processors of the S20 and above? I want to double boot my S20 phone with exynos 990 processor
