On the original topic..there is really no reason not to choose Android over WP7....by common trends new OS are always faulty and have lots of bugs with little QC and lack of features...WP7 may be worth looking at a year from now...but as it stands its a new OS....Android on the other hand has started to reach maturity.
I do love Android, but the thought of a brand spanking new OS is pretty enticing, I'll basically have an Android Phone and a winpho7 phone, once they port Android to Winpho7 phones (a la my HD2) then I may go back to one phone.

With my HD2 getting amazing benchmarks on Froyo (5000+ on quadrant) I would actually much rather have this dual-boot phone over an Evo, although admittedly I'll take a Galaxy S over this set up.
