Slinger...

I don't think that is feasable...here's why.

1) The Axim doesn't seem to allow "downgrades". Someone did post a way around this, but it was kind of dodgy. You could risk having a completely unusable Axim.

2) The operating system is delivered as just part of a complete ROM image, which contains all the drivers, programs, etc, for a specific make and model of PC. That's why the OS has to come from the hardware vendor and not directly from Microsoft. Trying to load the ROM image of an IPAQ onto an AXIM would most likely have undesired results.
