Still doubting if Microsoft is really serious about mobile and Windows Phone 7? Well, doubt no more. Microsoft has just announced to its employee during their MGX convention in Atlanta that every one of them (90K) will receive a free Windows Phone 7 device at launch. The company seems to be really proud of the new platform. Check out Andy Lees internal email after the break:

With all the buzz, a lot of you are asking how you can get your hands on a phone and get more involved. So, I am thrilled to announce that a new Windows Phone 7 will be made available to every Microsoft employee as we launch in each market around the world. The process will vary based on your market, your carrier, and your launch date so stay tuned for more information closer to launch.

Still 30 Million to go;)
