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.

As much as I don't want to agree with that post, I have to. It sucks that I just dropped a ton of money on TP2, but seeing that "new phones only" could be a very good thing. This means that MS may be dropping legacy stuff that is dragging WinMo in some extent, down.

i found it easy to justify also, its either keep my tp1 and wait till winmo 7, which will be the END of NEXT YEAR, or buy a tp2 enjoy its added benefits and then upgrade next year. I find it hard to use an older device when a new one is out. every phone that comes out has something the older one is missing. if i wouldve kept my mogul until a tp2 came out, that whole year i wouldve missed out with the tp1 wouldve been disturbing getting those out of memory messages and that ugly screen. this is the samething, i could pass and wait till winmo 7 but it would suck looking at that small screen. I still have my tp1 and the screen comparison is not even close. i wouldn't keep my tp1 just to be able to upgrade next year, man no one knows what might happen in a year, enjoy life now.

HTC Leo, HTC Qilin, Asus Galaxy can all run WM7 right now, they have the proper stuff from the manufactures to run and support it.
