A french quartet of young coders have released WintenDos, heres the translated info:

WintenDoS is a Homebrew for Nintendo DS developed by 4 enthusiasts 14-15 years. It incorporates the principles of windows XP on DS, and will allow guests to use as Internet Explorer logitiel for DS, or PC.Attention games, it is not possible to run simple programs. Exe edited to windows. The programs will come from WintenDoS updates from us after we have some software adapted to the capabilities of the Nintendo DS.

Well, except for the fact that it appears to be in french it seems to kind of work... Left/right click for the mouse did nothing, start menu wouldn't open, and the time didn't come up.

Its got a buttload of potential! Can't wait to see where it goes.

There is some idea, but they won't likely be able to run .exe files natively from it. Windows XP usually run on an x86 platform. The Nintendo DS works on an ARM platform, and it will require a lot of processing power to interpret x86 assembly into ARM assembly.

I don't want to discourage them, but they are more likely to achieve something by looking for porting [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_CE]Windows CE [/b], as it was coded specifically for low power/low CPU devices. If I'm not wrong, Windows CE already exist in ARM assembly. Disassembling it and adapt its code to the Nintendo DS platform would be an awesome achievement.
