No it wont. Epic still has herpes aka TouchWiz. If you want to go by this comparison non of the things that the Evo won would be effected if the Epic got 2.2. The Evo won speed, design, software ui, and browser. There was a draw with call quality, signal strength, and specs. Epic getting 2.2 would change speed, but enough to beat the Evo? Not sure. Design, that wont change with 2.2. Software UI with 2.2 wont be the Evo. There is no cure for herpes. And browser, not a chance. The Evo was loading web pages FASTER WITH flash loading than the Epic did without flash loading. Signal strength wont change, call quality wont change, and specs wont change with 2.2. So go troll yourself back to the Epic forum. If you even have one...
