Actually, windows update in WM6.5 is quite capable of updating the actual ROM. It has been hacked by those at xda developers and they are close (perhaps successful) to using it to do an in place ROM upgrade that leaves user data in tact. So while ROM upgrades via OTA download are already possible, the ROM must be device specific. Hopefully what MS has accomplished with WM7 is separation between the MS OS and the OEM bits (like drivers) so that they can send out an OS upgrade OTA that will work on any device since it will update only the OS and leave the OEM drivers in place. If that is done the only issue is whether carriers will allow it and if they can stop MS.
