Short answer: nope
Long answer: No, because we don't fulfill the "minimum specs" Microsoft put out and because the entire OS is built around WVGA resolution.

Probably not.
Look at the HTC HD2.
Runs all versions of WP7 (and a dev build of WP8) and the devs a doing it all without any legal interference from Microsoft.
What you could do is install a windows 7 launcher.

yeah, but look what perfomance stats has hd2 best way is to make ur wildfire look similar to wp7 by downloading launcher 7, uber music player, some messaging and dialer apps and if u have rooted phone and cm7 based rom, downloading theme wp7 for theme chooser. i have done it and it look very similar to wp7 :3

Yea but normally Windows Phones use the hardware Microsoft told the Manufacturer to use.
Texas Instruments, and such, i think... Just look at them, mostly all Windows Phones look the same!!
It's probably a lot easier to deploy a WP7 rom than an android one.

And the processor required for WP isn't a TI OMAP, it's the Qualcomm Snapdragon series.

Congratulations on bumping a 2 year old thread, you've topped the previous record for this section. I don't think we'll ever get an instant boot on the wildfire. Its just too much loading to do for a 528mhz (at stock speeds) CPU.

Well,
Considering the Wildfire S has it, also blackberry s have it.
I know this isn't a blackberry forum or w/e but the speeds are the same and all it seems in reality is saving the settings from the previous use.
And I think this is an important subject as our phone is probably going to die soon and if we can squeeze all the potential out of it when everybody cared, then maybe one day the wildfire wont be looked up on as a crappy old phone that didn't do anything amazing, if people looked at it as an amazing phone that's full of potential and everybody loves then that is when i would stop these "2 year old bumps".

It'd be a nice thing to have, but I don't think anyone will be developing it anytime soon.
The thing about it, is that pretty much most implementations are closed sourced, especially the HTC Sense version of it.
The one fully (more or less) GB Sense ROM we have, doesn't have "fast boot" (as HTC is calling it).

Let's just hope they share the same drivers. I can't wait untill the Wildfire S release. Did anyone else find the 2011 lineup from HTC very dissapointing?
I agree with the (slightly) disappointing line up. On the otherhand they are all nice devices and I would pick one anyday over a Samsung or LG. Some dual core android HTC shift-esque action with honeycomb would be definitely be welcome though.

Although that facebook buttons spoils everything for me
Still, it will be interesting to see if sense 2.0 will be possible to be ported and run on Legend with reasonable performance (Wildfire and Salsa have 512 of RAM - I think, this might make a difference).
ps. Sorry about the links - new user - no privileges to post links yet :/

Personally, I'm a little disappointed with HTC's offerings. And while I love my Aria, I think my next phone will be an Atrix. I love Cyanogen, so finegrs crossed it gets some love from the devs!
FACEBOOK button!?!?! When the hell did a freakin website get privileged enough to get a damn dedicated button on a cell phone??
judging by its similar specs to our legend, i'm very sure our talented chef will ported to our phones very soon. besides, gingerbread is already available to us through cyanogenmod7. fingers crossed and waiting for it. =)
But where can I find tools to port the Facebook button?...

Is it possible to have a Galaxy nexus and dualboot it with windows 7.5?
Thanks
I'm not going to say anything is impossible... but no. Not easily at least.
Even if you could get it on there drivers would probably be a big issue. It would take a lot of development to get things working properly. You'd have a lot of obstacles to overcome as well such as the lack of physical buttons.
Good luck

yeah well they tried and failed. even the director of wp7 developtment admitted defeat a few months ago . Personally I think it is a very decent platform. I really like its elagant user interface but if I just wanted ui I would've stayed with ios.
The reason wp7 didn't take off was because it was too late and there was no demand for it, not because it sucked.
I have dual boot Mango and ICS on my HD2.
Believe me, WP7.5 has a beautiful layout and the best keyboard, but besides that it's way inferior when compared to Android and iOS. Very lame browser and the apps have less options. It's fun to play with for a day, but more than that you'll get really frustrated.

Adding to what he said, since the hd2 already had windows on it it allowed It to be easier to port it onto, I think test builds where also made for it too. And since android is open source it was easy to port over( not really but easy for a dev). You'd have better luck buying a windows phone and dual booting that with android

BUMP to resurrect this thread.
I used to own a Palm Pre, and i can say without a doubt, that WebOS was smoothest and most intuative OS i've ever used..the ONLY thing that held WebOS down was the horrid hardware Palm and HP put out....
Please someone, I can't pledge a whole 100, but i will certainly pledge $40....it ain't much, but if you add up what the others say, it will get you pretty damn close to a new nexus 7....and than we could beg the great dev who does it to port it to the Nexus 7...
Come on XDA, lets do this...well one of you great devs do it!! lol....i'm a great tester flasher, but i'm no dev and i don't have the hardware to build it out...
I had the Palm Pre 1 and still have the Pre 3. They're great and easy to use devices. WebOs has so much potential, it shouldn't be given up that easy! It's so innovative and full of interesting functions. I would love to see a port to the One X!!
Some of it's benefits:
really fast!!
easy to use
a great solution for "multitasking" (some say it's a useless gimmick, but they should take a look how other OS's solved this problem (!...))
gorgeous interface!
ability to play .apk's (ACL)
Opensource
and far more things I can't remember right now
To compare how good the software architecture of WebOs is, take a look at the Moto Droid (Milestone 1) and the Palm Pre. While the Droid is very laggy on Eclaire or even Froyo, the Palm Pre with the same processor as the Droid runs very very fast and smooth. Even with WebOs 2.1, which actually hasn't been released for the Pre. There's a port of WebOs 2.1 for the Pre and even then it's still so smooth and fast. Flash contents on websites are running very fast, but when I take a look at my Droid using flash contents on websites...I can count the frames...
I still belive in WebOs, because it's, in my opinion, a great OS!!

You probably need to email and pm devs to get people to work on this. Look for the big devs on your devices forum pm them advertise it to them as a new thing to test and how fun it will be for them to do something new, then offer them the reward.
