i went with Android over Windows Phone 7 specifically because Android was the more traditionally designed OS, with full customizability on how you want it to look and behave. if Microsoft tries to force those ugly tiles on the PC market with no way around it then i won't be a happy camper

Windows 7 will have mainstream support from MS until 2015, so you have quite a few more years to stick with what you prefer.
After that, you can continue to run it in virtualization, likely with almost no performance penalty given the pace of hardware performance gains, and then you can officially be a curmudgeon.
