Why exactly can't the orginal Moto Q not run WM6.1?

I'm not a developer but I thought the chipset in the org. Moto Q and the 9C were the same. Why can't the Q run WM6.1? I haven't seen a kitchen for it even though most other phones get one.
Thanks for answering my question.

Hell Sprint would not even update the org. Mot Q to WM6. So 6.1 is out of the question. I think the problem with it is that by the time Sprint got the Org Moto Q, the Q9c, Q9m & Global Q were already being released. So they fiqured why bother. I sold my Org Q when I got my Mogul. But I really liked that phone. I'm very shocked that no one has come up with a way to update the org. Q.

Yeah I'm surprised too. The Sprint 6.1 ROM came out for the 9C today. I hope that maybe someone will cook it up for the original Q. Really all I want is the slick home page. I have Windows Live running on my org Q already and threaded SMS isn't really my bag.
