If you had a Desire Z it would be easier since the reverse is quite doable: android.stackexchange.com/questions/6849/…. That said, I think this is off-topic since you're asking about WP7 and not Android. We can't help you with that. – Matthew Read♦ May 28 '11 at 15:56

Nope you can't. Android phones are a bit "blocked" for other OSes to be run and installed on the device... By the way the first approach for this can be found at HD2 ToolBox and Hot Bootloader, which may help developers to build boot some other OSes on top of Android.

Different from the Windows Mobile era, that for example my HTC Touch Pro2 can run Android(fully featured) and Ubuntu(with some restrictions), not to mention al those OSes that have been ported to the HTC Leo(HD2).

i saw that you can install windows 95 on Desire. Why is WP7 so different ? – Badescu Alexandru May 31 '11 at 10:45
You can install Win95 on a x86 emulator for Android. That's the difference... – Nathan Campos Jun 1 '11 at 19:46
