Android 4.4 KitKat on a PC

I heard someone at work say about this and wasn't sure. I'd rather not ask this person as they will give you the full run down.

So can it be done?

yes with a but, graphics drivers may be a problem and no play store (maybe a guide on how to hack it in on the web somewhere)

Interesting, but I'd have thought slapping a touchscreen interface on a PC designed for mouse/keyboard input is a less-than-optimal solution.

It'll never catch on.

Yes it can be done, I've run it quite successfully on my non touchscreen laptop. Download the ISO, create a Live boot USB with Linux Live, done.

It runs very well (surprisingly so actually) but some apps aren't compatible.

Thread below about it.
