Better answer: why?
From my Evo to your eyeballs.
The question is why would anyone even want to?

I would want it..
Win phone 7 has a nice clean ui

well here is one of the 1000's of "is WP7 possible on the Evo" threads in the Evo general section. Doing a search for windows would have yielded a bunch of these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803726&highlight=windows&page=3
Actually guys, when it comes to WinMo I would also say why waste your time. Windows Phone 7 however is a different story. It's a really nice UI. That said, I believe it's just a nice UI. I haven't used the phone so I can't say it's a good OS or anything like that and since it's Windows vs Linux (Windows Phone vs Android which is based on Linux) I would say Android is better based on that alone. So I wouldn't discount it and say it's not possible or worth it. Those interested would just need to get enough developers interested because it would be a long hard road to do so. A very long, very hard road.
Why waste the time on the port. Its a nice ui but you can also recreate it on android. The market sucks on winmo. Im sorry I mean to say windows phone 7. This is almost as stupid as hearing the webos port people are doing. webos has hardly any apps. It doesn't even have shazaam. Why don't people just implument the only thing they loved from palm. And its the card multi task. Oh wait itchig thumb.

Gotta say a Windows Phone 7 launcher or WebOS launcher replacement would be truly awesome applications.
There really is no reason to bash the guy (and any of the previous requestors) about wanting to see a different OS on the Evo. Don't get stuck with "Fanboy Syndrome". If he, or one of the devs want to hash out a port, then it only benefits the community. It's one more check box we can put on the look what my phone can do and your iPhone can't list.
Personally, I wouldn't use it, but there are things I miss about WinMo and I can see why some people would want it. Some businesses only allow WinMo for work. So what's wrong with wanting an image one can flash during the day at work, then flip on a Nandroid of the user's favorite Android OS?
I REALLY miss having OneNote integration; however, that's not enough for me to make the switch. Yes, WP7 looks nice, but it can't even multi-task!!! Seriously? Just keep me with WinMo 6.5 and have a nice day, Microsoft.
I would also like to see this happen
Lets think about this: We have seen Android on WinMo, Linux on Android, Android on PC, OS X on PC, PC on Linux AND OS X, and our fellow XDAers are working on WebOS for Android(which I personally am excited about)
The answer to the !!WHY!!GRRR!! fanboy questions is simply BECAUSE WE CAN! You can't honestly say that if it was released you would not at least read the thread and look at the cool screen shots OR try it once, the whole point of XDA is pretty much "because we can".
Oh, and brush up on your WP7 info, engadget wrote an article on how Microsoft is now allowing apps to run in the background like they should have from the start, so I'm fairly sure that in the competitive mobile OS environment, multi-tasking is coming to WP7 soon.
You guys bashing on this guy are ignorant. Why did people port Android to hd2 or the iPhone. Answer is someone wanted it and they could. If he he wants wp7 so be it.

Hahaha I had enough with WP 7.
Okay I've been a little nervous to ask this in spite of the answers I may get, but I'm going to ask anyway. What exactly would I need to know to make my own ROM, tweaks, themes, hacks, and what not? I've taken 2 C++ courses although that was high school and 1 java course. I'm really interested in this, and if anyone who knows what there doing would take me under there wing to teach me. I thank anyone for any answer in advance.

Well if you want to get started I would say the easiest way would be to get an aio like mine here (There are others as well). Get your PC setup so you can decompile and compile apks and jars. Once you have that setup, I would start by looking around in the folders that it decompiles. This will help you learn where things are and how the apks work.
If you want to do theming you would need to know xml, how to edit images, and knowing java is always a plus.
Once you know where things are and feel comfortable editing apks, Then I would start learning the other stuff. ROM making, mod making, and tweaking will all get easier if you understand how the phone works.
Hope that helps get you started. Let me know if I can help you out with anything.
Shoot me questions if they pop up, can't always get back right away but I'll always try to help. Its been said before and sounds cliche, but read up. And I mean ALL over the net. The amount you learn troubleshooting your own problems as they arise(error messages etc) are invaluable and unfortunately can't be taught.
But for the other stuff, hit most of us up and you'll find help. Think I can speak for he majority of us on that one.

This is what I love about the xda community.... everyone so helpful I wish to build my own ROM someday too! I wanna take an android programming class but current college I'm attending doesn't offer it and I tried learning on my own but never could get android SDK or eclipse to install my old laptop.... gots me a way better Asus now and I always help with anything I know but that's simple stuff like making bootanimations, where stuff goes in the ROMs ( but I don't know how to make my own), I'm always experimenting with my build.prop and other tweaks til I soft brick and have to dirty flash my phone, I flash to different carriers, different prls, etc.... just simple stuff I'll gladly help. If asked I'll be a tester.... but I can't quit build my own rom

Google search will always be there for you when most needed
Ya googling only can take you so far. Not the same as an actual Mentor. If that were the case we wouldnt even have schools anymore we would just tell our kids. "Hey google it!" And educational systems would be pointless....
Thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it, so when I do have questions I can't find the answers to I am happy to have people I can go to. Although I have to put off until I get my own laptop around Christmas... soo you won't be getting anything from me for a while lol

Not yet. It requires to use some samsung frameworks which we basically we don't have.
I was thinking about supporting devs and creating some kickstarter-like thing, so they could start developing it.
Anyone else with me?

It would be really neat to have the multiwindow feature.

this idea was already explored by cyanogenmod awhile ago with a feature called cornerstone by Onskreen ithink. this was before samsung did it. Cyanogenmod had to abandon it after a threat by Google to take away the privilege to use the play store. so basically what im saying is this is somewhat dangerous and taboo territory

ha kind of they were just worried about incompatibility issues with apps, since you could do it with any app from the app store unlike samsungs, and how google works hard to give app devs a good platform to build on blah blah blah. its a shame it was a really cool feature. for any dev willing to try this you could use some of the cornerstone stuff idk where to find it but it would be a place to start at least
heres a demo of cornerstone it was only for tablets but i think with a little work it could run on phones

Umm you realize windows 8 (non rtm) does not run arm processors without an insane amount of developing magic, miracle, and sweat. They would basiclly have to rewrite the windows 8 kernel. Next time please do a little research before asking a question like that. It truly borders a stupid question

Sorry if i offended you in any way. I am not a developer either. I sense by the way your replied you have a true interest in the work that goes on for a phones. Its just that very often developers deal with people asking repetitive questions that tend to annoy them such as when this or that is available. That is why its always good to google first before asking on xda. Fortunately you did the right thing in putting this in question in the q and a section, and were only looking for some more information. I hope this does not deter you from learning more and asking questions.
once again sorry,

I understand that people's words on a screen can sometimes come off in the "wrong time of voice" lol.
It's all good.
he did say non rtm. so can we have a win 8 rtm rom? or am I missing something? (I do realize rtm is seriously crippled in comparison. but maybe he just wants rtm)

I'm far from an expert on this topic. However there was some interest in this when the surface rt came out I misspoke when I said rtm what I really meant is rt. Rt is only given to manufacturers. No one has it and if they did they would be sued into oblivion. This is the only type of windows that supports arm processors. No developer wants to get involved in this.
