Ok, so finally Windows Phone 7 reach the RTM (release to manufacturing ) stages, another step closer to much awaited date of releasing it to the world to enjoy… or criticizing it.  Windows Phone 7 is one massive project for Microsoft, that require notably effort from the whole team to make it as it is today. This is the testament to the effort and dollar that Microsoft has poured to this project, and it’s ain’t cheap!

“We had nearly ten thousand devices running automated tests daily, over a half million hours of active self-hosting use, over three and a half million hours of stress test passes, and eight and a half million hours of fully automated test passes.  We’ve had thousands of independent software vendors and early adopters testing our software and giving us great feedback. We are ready”

And yes, they’re ready!!
