Run Android OS on Windows 7/8

Chinese developers successfully created a native application for windows that's actually the Android OS, (4.0.2 ICS). That's a step further from just running Android apps on Windows with the use of an app called BlueStacks.

This new app provides the user with a stock Android interface and it utilizes the Dalvik Virtual Machine to run the Android apps. It's still under development and there are a few issues like Google Play store not recognizing your "device" as a compatible device, but there are some workarounds for that.
