I have performed winmo upgrades. Many times. Both official (from hardware vendors) and unofficial. There is a thriving community around porting new (admittedly of dubious legality) windows mobile versions onto old hardware. This is why I have devices which came with "pocket pc 2003" running windows mobile 5. Although I don't use them, because my n800 is much better. No, they're not available for all, they tend to be directed towards HTC devices. But given that HTC still sells the most winmo devices, that's not too much of an issue.

And it you want to get really picky, you can always just put linux on many of them
