You got that right
I got this idea from HTC HD2.The phone can boot two different operating systems,one at a time.And when I say different operating systems,it means os other than android.You can boot windows and android on the same phone.It stores the rom in SD card but I don't know if that's possible with Xperia arc.
Talking about the damage of SD card, I don't think it will cause any damage to SD cards.

It's possible on X10, and possible for ARC too imho.

WP is close source unlike Android. We can't ported to another device.
We can boot two different Android ROMs but that is unwieldy cuz the SD card ROM will lag. Also repartition may render SD card unusable later on !
i think even class 10 sd card isn't fast enough for an operating system
and for damage to sd card i am afraid that running an OS from sd card would damage it. just like link2sd, the errors happen to the 2nd partition of my sd card randomly, rendering the filesystem read-only.
and i have to manually check and fix it using gparted. not sure if similar things would happen if we run an OS from sd card 
you are wron
class 2 is fast enough
Look on the play development section: you can boot roms from sd-card

Yes, WindowsPhone OS is not open source but the point here is to boot the Rom from sd card.As the internal memory of Xperia Arc isn't sufficient, you can use sd card and boot the Rom.
Laggy Rom or damaged sd card are the secondary things and believe me, they are not valuable in front of Sense 4.0
I think we can risk our sd cards if we want sense Roms in our devices,at least I can
most of you would not have rom on sdcard long enough to damage it. i have 2 years old sdcard that is regularly used and ran android for about 1/2 y on HD2 and it still works in Arc
and class speed does not matter to OS, but rather its random r/w speed (which is usually longer on higher class sd), take a look at sdcards that are compatible with windows phone 7 (some devices did have it)

i didnt mean we cant boot rom from sd card
but speed is a problem
i dont know
in Desire forum we have very big roms with small space in the memory
one solution to install some files of system into /sdext
or to repartition the 512 mb
and some guys increase the system partition from 250M to 384M or even more
so the data should be in the sd-card in the Ext partition

really dont want to discourage you guys, if it happens it would be a miracle... But porting Sense UI to other phones is literally impossible.. it has been the target of samsung developers over the years and its simply not possible...
There was once a Sense 2.1 port for Nexus S and Galaxy S but that was so laggy.. not usable as daily driver and there were FCs and FCS everywhere
GS2 has the most developers support around (maybe second to HTC Sensation) ... they had tried their luck but failed...

Once in xperia x8 development, a dev named racht ported sense to the device. It runs well, kinda laggy and some if its basic function were missing, making it not suitable as an everyday phone...

It happens on X10 and with my class 4 sd card its fast enough. ROM not laggy at all.
Doomlord make it possible on X10.
Ask him, maybe he have a plan for ARC too.

Because porting sense is alot of work and very hard

i'm just getting a hang on Xperia as I switched several devices in few months, but I find this device very hard to develop on.
let me give you an explanation:
-lots of proprietary stuff around stock roms, CM has lots of bugs to be fixed too (especially ICS),
-kernel would would be based on CM, which I explained is buggy, working on half baked software is extremely hard to debug, so it would be best to start fom scratch, which is very time consuming
-baseband and camera interface is nothing like HTC at first sight..could be extremely problematic getting these working, and perhaps never in its full potential (ImageSense is out of question because it's hardware feat)
-SoC is good, same as Xperia arc (not S which is 8255T)
-every sense above version 3 is very hard to port, maybe skinned 2.1 would be better option.
-i'm not counting in any unexpected specifics which may delay development even further.
my toughts: about 10 months with skilled crew of 3 (good kernel developer, one who knows hardware& binary decompiling and one familiar with sense) working their free time and you MIGHT have something worthy to show.
now you may ask yourself if it's really worth it. you are probably better off with selling your device on ebay and buying One V on contract or without one(it's about 300euro in Slovenia off contract)

Great job! I really love sense ,but I'm not a Dev. I just want to buy a HTC one v, but I am just a senior high school student in China,that's to say I don't have enough money. . I hope you can finish it as soon as possible …XD

18oooh, Finally I can post here
Since the HTC Primo has similar hardware I thought that is not impossible to port its ROM to our lovely SE Xperia Arc.
So, I got the Leaked RUU (thanks for Football) and started working.
Actually, I couldn't touch the Sense but I realized that is possible.
I'm telling you what I did.
- First, The BOOT.IMG:
I also added a fully working CWM Recovery.
And end with 5.7Mb Boot.img.
- Second, The ROM.ZIP:
Finally I wrote updater-script and that was difficult but always there is Google.
OK, now I'm facing problems with the file-system.
I've tried YAFFS2 after editing init files and finished with bootloop.
So I think this ROM needs EXT4 /system, /data and /cache .I'm about to format them with EXT4 but I'm a little afraid

I wish i could help but instead of trying ics first i guess it is better to try older sense 2.1/3.0
