Experience suggests that would only happen quite some time from now, and only as a proof of concept that would not run very well beyond the fact that it run at all.
In practice, since this sort of OS frontier people no longer feel that Maemo is the future (while MeeGo is), it just will not happen at all.

MS is very strict regarding the hardware specs - the three hardware buttons they want to see on every Phone 7 device are "Start - Search - Back" plus a dedicated "camera button".

1) Techically it can be done using techniques called virtualization or emulation. And only by someone who have access to Windows Phone 7 code so they could put it there.
2) Only a handful of people would do it if they could, and only to prove a point. Once they had proven it could be done, they would put a video on youtube and then abandon it.
3) The handful of people who could have done it if they wanted to, probably no longer feel a need to prove how excellent Maemo is, because they're expecting Meego. Meego is a new/merged operating system that Nokia will be using instead of what we know as Maemo. It is in part based on Maemo.
Edit: I just realized I failed to use simpler words.

Thats right, but it wouldn't have to really be emulated, it really depends on the hardware sets that win 7 mo is released to, i mean some guy got android running and i don't think that was emulated,

You forgot Win7 "features." (As MS see them)
Can't run anything of SQL (databases) which also limit functionality
App's can't communicate with eachother.
Walled garden affair, like the iphone, so you can't mod and develop freely.
And silverlight isn't supported. (There version of flash)
Check these for the "what is missing from Win7"

Only a complete fool would buy something as locked down as this, but the world is full of fools. I mean I bought the N900.

Microsoft would get angry and disable the world! then they would be angry as N900 doesn't have 3 hardware buttons.
But Win Mobile 7 on the n900 would mean the end of times.

If u can tell onething more, actually, its my first experience to work on Maemo. I used Microsoft Windows always on PC and symbian on Mobiles. So, when I saw WIndows Phone 7, the environment attracted me so I asked...
