actually if you even watched the tp2 official release vid of it in the mobile conference they have stated that the TP2 WILL get the wm7 upgrade when it comes out.

they will be. atleast the TP2.
exactly, people can't grasp that idea for some reason. lol.
maybe, maybe not.
if it does, you certainly will not get the dual touch screen capabilities as that is hardware dependent. And whatever other hardware dependent items will be in wm7 you won't be able to have either.
More than likely the software will be ported over first.
Then whenever a brave soldier decides to take upon the gargantuan task of porting over the whole brand new OS, then it will be done.
But I would assume it would only be the software type stuff that gets ported over for quite a while.
WAIT!!! Where did they state that it will not be compatible??!!??!!
They have stated a few times that the TP2 will have a wm7 upgrade when wm7 is released......

Where have they stated that the tpro2 will have an WM7 upgrade?
The requirements for a device to run WM7 is:
WM7 Chassis 1 Specification

Memory: 256MB+ DRAM, 1G+ Flash (at least 512MB fast flash – 5MB/s unbuffered read @4K block size)
Display: WVGA (800×480) or FWVGA (854×480) 3.5” or greater diagonal
Touch: Multi-touch required
Battery: Sufficient to meet Days of Use LTK requirements.
Controls: Start, Back, Send and End are required (soft controls allowed as long as they are always present).
Peripherals:
Camera: 3MP+, flash optional, 2nd camera optional (VGA resolution sufficient)
GPS: aGPS required
Sensors required: Light Sensor, Compass (3 axis, 5 degrees, 100 Hz sample rate), Accelerometer (3 axis, 2mg resolution, 100 Hz sample rate)
USB: High speed required, 20 MB/s transfer rate.
BlueTooth: BT2.1 required, must run MSFT BT stack, CSR BlueCore6 or later recommended.

(EDIT: I didn't know what QCOM was, but it requires a QualComm 8K processor, tpro2 will have a 7600a)
Also where does it say there are 2 totally different teams working on WM7 and 6.5, cause no one has posted a source or a confirmation of this at all...hell people have even said 6.5 is being incorporated into wm7
