Sick with the pathetic performance of A110 processor, while running Windows Vista? A week back, we posted about how to install Windows 7 on the HTC Shift. Sadly, the Windows 7 is still in it’s beta stage. And while it is not out, XP remains the OS of choice for Netbooks as it runs on low-spec hardware incredibly well.
Sadly, the original Resolution changer won’t work. You must use this version in Windows XP. Also, to access the Windows Mobile side, you will have to install ActiveSync. Tablet input panel is not working at the moment.
Here are the full instructions on how to get Windows XP on your HTC Shift:
1.- Download and save to a USB disk drive:

and https://phatpipez.homeftp.org/HTCShi…chXPproSP2.exe
Be sure to extract the rar file before starting or have a unrar program installer available, you cannot extract rar files on a newly installed windows XP!
2.- Install XP. Use your own version in your own language!
Choose same disk and fast NTFS format. Use the administrator account for now.
