Either under emulation for the x86 code set or the new ARM based Win 8 or are we talking about the old winCE?

James, I do software work and would not want to try to get Windows on Raspberry Pi because the resources needed would overwhelm that poor little Pi Clem

It depends on what you mean by "work". In principle, Windows can execute on a RasPi by emulating the x86 instruction set. However, in practice Windows doesn't "run" on a RasPi -- it's more like "crawling"

Even then, it is a horribly stripped down, almost crippled version of xp. johnbeetem is not underestimating when he says it is slow.
