Program | Will It Run? | Note |
---|---|---|
Windows | No | Windows runs only on x86 type cumputers , the Pi is ARM. |
WINE | No | Sorry. WINE is x86 only. And: dynamic translation is like faster-than-light travel. Propable : yes Viable: no . |
Windows 8 | NO ! | Needs more RAM and will only run on Cortex/Tegra ("better" processors). |
WinCE/ WinMobile / WinXYZ |
NO ! | Oh well, you are really clever. You have loads of money to throw away (licenses + man-hours and more man-hours of work) , or what ? I assure you: You won't be able to run Win32 .exes (no Crysis) ! Don't forget : the primary aim is education - embedded apps (conformity+ testing) come later. |
Netflix | No | Netflix Runs on proprietary technology which is not supported for Linux. There is a petition against that online. |
Android | ? | Very propable , but NOT Ice Cream Sandwich ! Remember : 256 MB RAM ? |
Minecraft | No | RAM usage is too demanding for the RPi. But you know , Minecraft geeks will come up with something. Perhaps a "lite" server. |
Hulu | ? | Flash Based ! |
Java | Yes | Might be *slow* . No idea about browser plugins. |
Flash | No | You can try gnash (GNU Flash) and gazillions of other projects. They are NOT a drop-in replacement for Adobes official thing. |
YouTube | Yes | You can use the HTML 5 version of YouTube |
