How will these incorporate Manufacturer specific drivers, &ct? 
Don't ask me for provenance....
I just remember reading/hearing it somewhere. .

They can, sure. MSFT wants to control everything. I see this working like so:
A PDA manufacture writes drivers for the Mobile OS, they send them to MSFT, and thru something like WindowsUpdate.com they get pushed to your device. Doing it this way prevents WM5 rom images being hacked and pirated on unpaid devices. Remember the big Dell fiasco with people hacking the PPC03 os rom and installing it on their dell PPC02 os?
I am sure the WM 2005 MSFT gave to their Mobility MVPs runs in a emulator.
