ZDNet : Microsoft: Games to be front and center for Windows Phone 7

"Microsoft is reconfirming, on the eve of Gamescom 2010, that it is making sure the Windows Phone 7 platform will be a game-centric one.
On August 16, Microsoft officials confirmed earlier reports that Microsoft Game Studios is creating a dedicated group to develop video games for Windows Phones. The group also will help recruit smaller, indie game makers, according to the company." ~ Mary Jo Foley

This seems very wise for the old men at the stuffy MS company. To allow for games on their new phones, and allow smaller indie publishers to create them is a good idea. Isn't that what Apple basically did? I am no MS fan boy, I just happen to prefer PCs to MACs. If I were to get a phone along those lines it would be a DROID. I like the IPhone, but even some of my MAC friends say they want the DROID. I would like to see MS create a phone that can compete with the other two.
