On XP, I doubt it's possible...
You could make an USB key with Ubuntu install on it. Not fast, but you could flash your tablet with phablet-tools (see tutorials)

2nd Gen Nexus 7 is not on the official support list and I see no ports for it yet...

For linux and mac you have to use Heimdall but to my knowledge it is not compatible with the Note I717.
Anyone else? Thanks....

Anyone running Linux? Maybe use Odin running in the Wine environment?

Don't have one but may just go ahead and install XP.
Thing is, that's also proving difficult as I don't have an optical drive and I'm having bootmgr issues with the USB bootable I made.

I thought I read on another post it works with Macs but unfortunately not with Linux/Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu also, so it would be great if it did work.
Don't boot XP man. Your just going to run into compatibility issues.

Heimdall 1.3.2 broke compatibility for several devices. In most case it is recommended that you use version 1.3.1 instead.Version 1.3.1 works for me ( Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise )
Thanks all... will have to do me some learnin' heimdall

Windows 8 doesn't run on the ARM architecture, so that wouldn't work.
Surface does, but it is way too locked down to be able to port it to another device

I think the closest way to get Win8 into Android/iOS is using a theme...
No

Surface is the name of the tablet, the name of the operating system which supports ARM architecture is called Windows 8 RT

Which chromebook do you have? Unless you have the chromebook pixel I wouldn't recommend it due to the computing power necessary to compile from source. However any x86 based chromebook would work even the ARM based ones with the proper cross compiler would work. Overall, yes it possible provided you have the proper packages and complier installed with Ubuntu.

I will suggest you to Install windows 7 on a separate partition like I did just for these purposes.
