Multi-boot OSes (2 version of Windows Mobile on 1 ppc)

ANOTHER POST?? WTF?!?!?! ok anyway.. I wanted to know if you can configure your axim x5... or any axim for that matter, to boot to multiple OSes... for instance having a boot loader that lets me choose to use, say, Windows Mobile 2003 and Pocket PC 2002. Just wondering if it's possible... or what expertise is needed.... :) :) :) :) :approve:

Since the OS is given to each manufacturer and they then modify it specifically for their PPC, I would not think it is possible with today's devices.

In the future, as PPCs get more like their big desktop brothers, this could be possible.

getting closer to pcs everday arent we LOL

Anyhow, i dont think it is possible as to install the OS, it rewrites the ROM in the device and sets it up for that specific OS. Maybe in the world of super good hacks there is a way, but i have not seen it yet, or seen any possibility.
