Ok, this isn't easy, but it's very rewarding.... :-)

Here are the steps you would need to go through to put mMcrowindows on
your helio.

1.  Get a battery charger and 4 or 6 rechargable AA batteries - This
isn't absolutely required, but
    when the serial UART is going on the helio, it eats up power like
non other.

2.  Go to http://vhl-tools.sourceforge.net . They will explain how to
put the Linux kernel on your helio. 
    
3.  Goto http://www.microwindows.org .  Grab the latest version of
Microwindows, copy the config.helio file to the config file, and 
make the system.

4.  That should be all.  I have had it running with surprisingly few
problems (except for the power thing).  If you run into problems,
    we have a number of people on this list that have built Microwindows
for the Helio, I know that at least one of us will be able to help you.

Happy hacking!
