If its soo different why can other people run it? and why can you install Windows on every machine? because it has alot of different drivers that can be installed if needed I looked at the WM6 rom and it detects different sizes of Rom/Ram.

You can run the PC version of Windows on most machines because it is meant to be run on a variety of machines. It has tons of drivers bundled with it and it's made to be able to detect and adapt to those systems. You cannot possibly even begin to compare Windows 95/XP to WM6 beyond the basic definition. WM6 is an embedded operating system, which means its specialized. Each ROM image is tailored for a specific device with its own diverse set of hardware. In order to get it to work, you're going to have to reverse engineer the crap out of it. You're going to have to write or modify existing Dell drivers to even get it running at all. Even then, you're going to have tons of trouble with glitches, crashes, and incompatibility. You need tons of programming knowledge and probably some documentation (which isn't available) to get a start. This isn't as simple as pulling up a hex editor and changing a header. You need to know the Axim and the operating system inside out. If you think WM5 is bad, running your own experimental WM6 is going to be much worse. Guaranteed.
