Will Windows Phone OS v8.1 run on HTC One M8? Well, the leaked information from @upleaks says so.
The information floating around is that HTC will launch a Windows phone version of the One M8. If the news is true, there are high chances that the bootloader for the HTC One M8 will be supporting the Windows Phone operating system.
The news comes in from various sources that the upcoming Windows Phone from HTC, the One W8, has an open bootloader which can possibly install an Android OS too. Since the One M8 and One W8 are almost (reportedly) identical in specifications, there are all possible chances of the bootloader being compromised to install the two operating systems.
It will be just a matter of time when developers will be able to crack the internals of the bootloader and enable users to install Windows Phone 8.1 on the Android-running handsets. Also there will be high chances of users dual-booting Android and Windows on the same handset.
This would make the HTC handsets the best of both worlds and enthusiasts and app developers can use the same handset to test out their applications across platforms.
HTC One W8 is rumoured to be on stands on 21 August, 2014, exclusively on Verizon. Around three months ago, @evleaks leaked out the information about the HTC Windows phone One W8 to see daylight.
