Windows Phone Thoughts: Rainy Sunday? Play with the Windows 7 Emulator CTP

"Beginning today you can download the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP Refresh (WPDT CTP) from http://developer.windowsphone.com, which means you can now build Windows Phone 7 apps on the final release of Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010). While this update is primarily intended to enable development using the final release of VS2010 there are a few new things here too."

If it's raining on your Sunday, you may want to use the extra time to check out the CTP Refresh of the Windows Phone Developer tools, especially the new Windows Phone 7 OS image for the emulator. After all, it's already been unlocked which gives you a peek at the newest versions of Office and other parts of the OS. Not a bad weekend day spent for developers and aficionados alike.
