So you would need all new drivers to be written over, you would need all Bootloader to be redone.

Will it run with the specs, sure it will run, but unless HTC makes a last decision move to support it, (<1% chance) you will not see it, unless someone rewrites the drivers and bootloader and everything all over again to match CE OS 7.

It is not impossable, but its very very unlikely it will happen, I have decided to hold off on buying a new device this year,

WM 6.5 End of Life is in February at that time MS is going to only build WM7 builds, and work on that, at that time, D2 and TP2 will not be recieving new SYS upgrades.

WM7 has reached Milestone 6 last I heard, it requires hardware acceleration, because the home screen involves a lot of transparent images, and so without the hardware acceleration, it wont display right.
this is actually good news. if the old phones were going to be able to be upgraded then winmo 7 wouldn't be all that spectacular. The fact that they need new phones all together shows that it is a whole new OS for real.
