Wink WP7 on Galaxy S

Now that the Galaxy S has been rooted, is it possible to load a WP7 ROM on this device wen WP7 is released?????
As it is announced, Samsung is one of the manufacturers of WP7 phone.

DONATE TO ME
you can always do a Dual Boot using Gen.Y DualBOOT i'm doing that on my Athena to get Android working on it.

so the opposite can be done as well, keep Android as the default OS, and instal WM7 to play around on the SD card

Donation is appreciated but not required, a cup of Coffee would suffice

The Galaxy actually fulfills one of the requirements regarding WP7

Since WP7 only supports 3 buttons on the interface itself, and thats what the SGS has

So it should be "possible"

-TB-
Phones:
Samsung galaxy S II (not rooted)
Samsung galaxy S III (not rooted)
Tabs:
Galaxy 10.1 32gb Wi-Fi only (rooted)

no, the chances of that are pretty much zero, porting wp7 to the galaxy s would be extremely hard.

gen.Y DualBOOT is a program for windows phones and won't run on any android phone, and the reason we can port android to windows mobile so easily is because android is a open source OS, windows mobile is closed which makes it pretty much impossible to port

Simply meting the requirements won't make this any easier, to be able to run windows 7 on our phones we would need drivers, simple as that, and developing drivers for a closed OS is pretty much impossible
