Microsoft Encourages Geohot To Jailbreak Windows 7 Phone

When Geohot (infamous for the i-Jailbreak, PS3 Jailbreak) expressed that he would jailbreak Windows 7 Phone, Microsoft actually encouraged him by offering him a free Windows 7 phone.

In a tweet, Microsoft product management head Brandon Watson said, “if you want to build cool stuff on [Windows 7 Phone], send me email and the team will give you a phone. Let dev creativity flourish.”

  6. wow, instead of suing him they are encouraging him. To be honest, if MS wants they can stop piracy , but they don’t because they want to increase sales, cause agree or not lot of people in BD and other places opt for xbox 360 due to piracy issues and if the “buyer” is addicted to online gaming and if he gets banned, he’ll most probably get another xbox 360. WELL I might be wrong.

  7. i bet its cuz there more confident bout there patents as apposed to sony or apple… lets see if they can sue him

Jump right in and leave a reply, you can surely expect a response from me
