I was pretty sure Faterson was referring primarily at least to the Win8 OS, which is essentially a mixture of Win7 and WinMetro.

And I doubt they could get Android to work together with Windows, although multiboot is an option -- however, running one in a virtual environment inside the other might do the trick.
