Microsoft Urges Employees To Develop For Windows Phone 7 In Their Spare Time

They say nothing ever comes for free, but Microsoft employees recently did get some good news in the form of free Windows Phone 7 devices. That being said, an email is now going around that employees are being encouraged to evangelize the product, and also to try and find some time to develop apps for it, though it’s probably not a direct order to develop said apps. Obviously Microsoft is trying to harness the ability of its talented bunch of developers, and if everything works out according to plan, maybe we’ll see a large number of Windows Phone 7 apps ready to go when the devices are launched. It’s hard to imagine that anybody would complain about the free phones, though.
