Just completely out of curiosity, what would it take to run any Microsoft application on an Android tablet? I'm guessing just loading a version of Windows 7 onto a tablet is out of the question, since it can't handle touch-capability. Would it be theoretically possible to write a Windows emulator or run-time environment that would allow you to, say, download Eclipse on a removable memory device, plug in a key board and mouse, and program right from your tablet? I know Microsoft is coming out with their Surface Pro that will run Windows 8 with full touch capability and have access to Microsoft's app market, but I much prefer Android in general (I prefer Java over C++) and Android's app market. That's why I was wondering.

is just a thought but you should check if there is any project similar or based in the winehq.org libraries, as android is linux based something like that might work with an extra layer to handle the touch input, using an emulator for the whole SO might be too expensive in resources for some tables out there to handle.
