Not sure if you're talking about the kernel (which I've heard very good things about and has been ported to run on WP smartphones with as little as 256mb ram and crappy processors) or specifically just the windows layer on top of it but I don't know of any desktop class OS that runs on smartphones.
OSX doesnt. OSX doesnt even run on tablets (not that it can't, idk)
Ubuntu cant run on smartphones either. The edge was the most powerful smartphone ever envisioned just to be able to run ubuntu well.
I don't see how not being able to run a desktop OS on a smartphone is a criticism. When it comes to tablets windows actually runs quite well on the surface RT which isn't all that impressive hardware wise. Sure it might not be able to run intensive apps but that's mainly the fault of the app makers, not windows.

- TheLegace 13y agoI can run Ubuntu on my Nexus 4 and Android wishes it could run that smoothly. Even in beta it is incredible smooth, it just a shame it can't really do anything since the apps are all just filler. Linux is superior for mobile platforms. Even Ubuntu with it's bloated software and UI can run. Someone just needs to develop a good ecosystem for that merges Desktop, Laptops, tablets and other mobile devices where you actually develop for them sort of simultaneously. Or your framework can be designed to incorporate all factors of computing and even make them interoperable.
