Windows 7 Phone Gets Jailbreak Tool

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday November 30, 2010 @04:41AM from the happens-to-all-of-us-eventually dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Developers have released a 'jailbreak' tool for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, allowing the handsets to run any application, not just those approved for distribution through Microsoft's Marketplace. Although reminiscent of jailbreak tools for the iPhone, this tool, called ChevronWP7, addresses a feature missing in Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. It allows corporations to develop proprietary applications and install them on users' handsets without the need to first place the application on Marketplace, as is currently required by Microsoft."

Microsoft is the most evil of all! by oic0 · 2010-11-30 05:12 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Hope their new 7 phone crashes and burns. They deserve it for all of the DRM thats rendered windows as just limited license instead of a piece of software you can own. Even more evil than apple.
