It appears some Chinese hackers have achieved what has been thought to be nearly impossible – Windows Phone 7 on the HTC HD2!

The video above is much more convincing that previous mock-ups we have seen, going from boot all the way to proper interaction and multi-touch.

The XDA.CN forum appears to have an active hacking community working on the port, which will hopefully spill over into an English version very soon.

Of course with Windows Phone 7 being a much more locked down OS than before a hacked ROM may not be able to access features such as Zune and Marketplace, but getting the OS up and running is a major achievement in itself, given the discouraging news we have heard previously.

I for one cant wait to give it a try.
