GeoHot to Jailbreak WP7 (Windows Phone 7)?

Will GeoHot jailbreak WP7? There’s a hint! Impressed with how Microsoft dealt with WP7 jailbreak devs, GeoHot wrote on his official website:

perhaps a more appropriate way to deal with jailbreakers
I’m going out to buy a Windows 7 phone

It should be noted that GeoHot has been sued by Sony over PS3 jailbreak so its quite evident how he liked it when Microsoft invited Windows Phone 7 jailbreak developers to Redmond to discuss exploits in its WP7 platform. They were then presented with oversized t-shirts that had a message printed over it saying “I was the first to jailbreak Windows Phone 7, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”. Here’s the shirt:

Apple also choses to fight the jailbreak devs as it had asked Federal Government to stop jailbreaking. Let’s see if we get to see GeoHot to jailbreak Windows Phone 7 devices.
