Yes, I'm all for this, if it means better standardization of hardware.
I had an HTC HD2 back in the day that could multi-boot between Android and WP7, and it was extremely fun to tool around multiple OSs.
Openness of operating systems is only half the story. We need good hardware that allows us choice as well. Nexus devices seem like the one to pick these days, if WP and Android live together on more phones, maybe we will get more? Maybe that's a naive conclusion to reach, though.
