Next week we will be in San Francisco for the 2011 Game Developer’s Conference.  It’s a big conference with lots of attendees expected.  Microsoft will have a number of people there to connect with developers and partners and will be throwing a big party on Thursday night (March 3rd) to celebrate.

We are going to bring five WP7 developers as our guests to the party.  Want to be one of them?  Here’s what you need to do:

WildTangent has transformed themselves in the past five years. They used to have a bad reputation, but now they are a model application. By earning the Compatible with Windows 7 Logo they have strengthened their commitment to privacy and security. WildTangent Games is an aggregator of great games across the internet. With over 1300 games and 10 million new users per month, WildTangent is quickly growing in popularity.

Today is the day that the Windows Phone team has been driving towards, and we’re very excited to say that we’ve reached the biggest milestone for our internal team – the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Phone 7!  While the final integration of Windows Phone 7 with our partners’ hardware, software, and networks is underway, the work of our internal engineering team is largely complete.
