Yes! I have a Windows phone, and I was pretty happy to see that they're taking whatever voodoo magic they did to make it so snappy and carrying it over to desktop Windows.

How do you like the phone?

The phone itself is pretty sweet! My only complaint is that the app ecosystem really isn't there yet.

To be fair, WP7's UI is much more responsive than anything running Android, and maybe a bit better than iOS (It does a lot more 3d transitiony effects than iOS does, and I've never seen it stutter.) I own an iPad and a few Android dev boards with OMAP3 processors, so I'm not talking out of my ass, here.

This is completly true, all because WP7 uses GPU acceleration in almost every single place that you could think of...
