Way to go Pat, tis a mad mad world.
The good news is you should be able to download a app that emulates windows, try parallels or IDos at a guess. It may even come with one.
Do read a bit on one first if its like the ones for the Mac there are diffrences, some emulate some make it act just like a PC,well better actually proper pallete etc so game runs easy peasy..
Either will probably do for WinSP.but need the second for modern games.

It would seem it will not be possible, answer is from one of the modirators I believe from the "Community" site. Here's the response...

This solved my question This helped me
You can't - only apps/games downloaded from the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app directly on the iPad can be installed on the iPad, PC (and Mac) software are not compatible with the iPad.

Sounds like a "Thread Killer" response. Maybe someday when Apple and MS will learn to get along better and it's to their mutual benefit?

Not to worry I did the bolding.

Remember the dumb question won't get you killed, it's the one you didn't ask that will. A little something told to us in Sub School in Groton CT. and a little peek too on how "things" tick.

Pat

Okay well thats typical Mac i tunes is about the worst music supplier like there PCs but the other stuff aaargh, however
What operating system is it running, I thought you could put any operating system on it even windows if so desired. I am 99% sure there are apps for the standard operating system that let it run windows programs.
That said it did occur to me while it will probably run how are you going to play it, no mouse & WinSP is not going to respond to onscreen gestures. That I would guess is the real reason why you need a game writen for the tablet & not a PC port.

John,
I agree it is strange that the iPad can't even download that from their own MAC, but I did notice a "sigh" of relief on CINCLANTHOMEs face when I told her it was a no go! Besides somehow her, the granddaughter and oldest grandson when here don't leave me anytime to use it anyway!!

Will PM you soon via normal email, CINC says Hi!

Regards,
Pat
