Developers, developers, developers - is a LIE: Microsoft is
NOT paying Windows Mobile developers
,----[ Quote ]
| So imagine you have created Windows Mobile
| apps and you have sold many of them through
| "Windows Marketplace for Mobile", so many
| that in fact Microsoft owes you several
| thousand dollars. Of course considering how
| lame Marketplace is (still many issues, still
| many problems, still English apps not visible
| in foreign stores, etc etc) the fact that you
| even sold so many apps is big achievement.
|
| So you would think that now you can pay your
| bills by this money that you earned off
| Windows Mobile apps. Wrong! Microsoft is not
| paying:
|
| I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID ... and I have sold
| $1000's Also 'Not eligible for revenue
| payout' has suddenly appeared whereas when I
| last checked mid December I was infact
| eligible. Please can somebody competent
| please look into this. I have bills to pay
| and spent $1000s on submitting my apps.

| responses to Ramji's blog post indicate real frustration over having the
| documentation tool summarily yanked out from under their projects.
