The requirements for a device to run WM7 is:

(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

if you watch the video of the TP2 from the mobile conference or whatever the heck its called, where the TP2 was released, the htc people confirm that microsoft said that it will have the wm7 upgrade, also, there were some reports that came out a while back when wm7 came about that all the ones released at the same time or later than the TP2, they will have a wm7 upgrade.

never even heard of the windows button hahaha.
