A Pixel 3 XL owner claims to have ported Windows to the device
The current drive to port Windows to as many things as possible in your spare time continues. A Twitter user called @NTAuthority has alleged that their Pixel 3 XL device is capable of booting into this OS. This claim was made in a video post with the caption: "I bet you've never seen this before. Well, probably have. It's Windows. On a Pixel 3 XL. Because why not? Everything runs Windows nowadays".
The video appears to show the classic Windows start-up image, along with what looks like a request to press buttons for various boot options. It ends by showing the Pixel's screen on a plain blue 'wallpaper', on which a possible command video is shown.
However, apparently, this is as far as the port goes: the same window is not playing very nicely with the Pixel 3 XL's sizeable notch. Perhaps this video should indeed surprise nobody: the past weeks have also seen a report that Windows had also been persuaded to boot on a Nintendo Switch. Perhaps this will help with Microsoft's onetime goal of a billion installs for its OS after all.
