Microsoft To Work With Windows Phone 7 Jailbreakers

It would be great if Sony, Apple, Microsoft, and several Android phone makers would implement a simple development switch in their phones — these would obviously void the warranty, but it would give hackers the opportunity to actually own their devices without fear of having to jailbreak all over again whenever an update arrives."

Yeah, remember how they use to sell visual studio and now it's free?

Remember how they use to require a pay version of VS instead of the free version to develop for WinMo but went to enabling it with VS Express?

Oh, wait...

Fuck you and your FUD. The problem with asshats like you is that you expect everything to be handed to you. Oh, and I just love how you blame MS for what your hardware vendor does as far as an install disc. Just further proof that you're a know nothing and a jack off.
