Absolutely not!!!

Every WM OS must be customized by the manufacturer for every device they sell. There certainly cannot be one MS WM6 ROM upgrade that suits multiple devices, let alone all devices...

Any idea who posted this ROM you've provided the link for and how you got the link? That might tell us which device it's for without having to waste time downloading it, if it's not a hoax in the first place.

After download it appears to be a universal wm6 update.

There is no such thing as rom for all devices, the roms still are device dependant, the only theoretical (I think they are trying this in MS labs) way for creating all device upgrade is to be something like kitchen, with drivers and support software for all devices (which is a little hard but MS has the power and the money to do it) the rom will cook befor actual flashing and then it will flash to the device.

I think the confusion here is cause by the word 'Universal' (note the capital U).
Many people don't realize that this does not mean 'ROM for all' as the term universal does.
This is simply a reference to an internal name given by HTC to the device known as the Exec / JasJar and many other names.

As for creating a truly universal ROM: it is M$ fault that the image has to be bundled with the drivers in the first place. I think this is intentional to make ripping off the OS harder. If they wanted to, they could design the hardware specific component to be separate, even sit in a different partition of ROM so minor OS updates like WM 6 that do not require change in driver architecture could be generic.
