Enterprise applications for Windows Phone 7?

Question

Apple has a corporate developer program with an increased licensing cost, does Microsoft provide such a service for Windows Phone 7 developers?

Answer 1

This was asked at a recent MS event. You can assign (I think 5) phones to the developer, unlock them, and then download the application directly / bypass the market.

In addition, there was talk that they hope to soon allow beta codes to limit the deployment of your application to unlocked phones, bypassing testing / market adoption. But I do not know the status of this.

I don’t know why I can’t just comment on another answer in this thread, so I apologize for posting these comments in response.

I think MS really should do this, as this could be a cost-saving solution for WP7. Although I personally believe that my experience with WP7 and my Samsung Focus was as good or better as with the second-generation iPod Touch, which I have, there are many people who are not convinced. For better or worse, the ecosystem really matters, and MS has it in the corporate world.
