If my N770 ran Windows, I wouldn't have changed a thing.
If the 770 ran Windows, it wouldn't run. WinCE 4.1, maybe, but no full-blown XP.

Also, if the 770 ran Windows, it would have cost at least $100 more than it costs now.

And, if the 770 ran Windows, we wouldn't call it "running". "Crawling", yes...
