Winmo is a great platform, granted you have the hardware to support it. The 1ghz processor in the Evo + Windows 6.5 would be awesome. Just my opnion though.
When you buy a Windows Mobile phone you get an OEM license of Windows Mobile, not a retail one, this license is NOT transferable to other devices and dies when the unit dies. To my knowledge there is no way to buy a copy of Windows Mobile to do with as you please.

Android and the other portable OS's are open and free, that's why you are able to do with them as you please (for the most part)...
