Why can't any computer run any program?

Why couldnt't a cell phone for example run windows, just slower because of less memory and other stats to the computer? Or what is it that prevents this from being possible?

The central processing unit (CPU) is a chip that defines what the instructions are that a computer understands.  The CPU in your phone understands a different set of instructions than the CPU in your laptop.  That said, programs like Wine and DosBox and MAME exist precisely so you can run programs compiled for one plaatform to run on another one.
