I had a brief look at this yesterday, and it might be what I need.
I have to change my stance on this emulator - I tried it a bit more last night and it ate 7% of my battery in 15 minutes - in 45 minutes I was down 21%. I hope they can improve this.

Oh? You got it running on the Surface Pro 3 ? Without Touch Input and no WiFi ?
btw, Did you install full android on your SF3 or did you install this as a window application?
It should be possible to use an android app like SetCPU or noFrills CPU clock to change the max clock of the intel CPU?

No no, I just looked at it - went to their website, checked the forum. If it was available to install I would probably try it in the hypervisor first.
I meant more for testing purposes. Really though, there are only a couple of things I want from Android - switching OS all the time could be a bit irritating.

I just installed Duos-M today and was able to test it briefly. Here are my findings:
1) I haven't tested any apps yet but the UI seems responsive enough.
2) When Duos is minimized (not closed), SP3 won't sleep properly (during the 2 hours I left it unused, it used about 3 times the battery (1000 mW pert hour instead of the normal 300 mW per hour).
3) When I closed (exited) Duos, SP3 sleeps properly as before.
Based on my short experience, this looks promising. I'll keep it for the 30 day free trial period and decide if I want to own it for $10.

Can you install Apps from the store with this or is it only able to run "Projects"?

Unfortunately it's not supported yet due to licensing. My bad as I know many of us tend to install and run apps from the Google Play store. I hope they're working on this soon with future updates.
IOW reach around your back up underneath your shirt and down your sleeve to apply salve to your elbow with a toothpick.

You mean this? http://www.android-x86.org/ xD

Last time i checked Touchscreen didn't work ^^ so that was a NoGo.
But still, i think that the pure "DualBoot" is to much work, better such a Console OS thingy that has both nativ but allows for easy switching with Live systems.
