You had to grasp those freebie WP7 devices for Microsoft employees would come with several strings attached. We imagined the Redmond brain trust was aiming for some word-of-mouth popularization besides a boost in team morale and proactivity, but as it turns out, things are just a little more codified than that. TechFlash has what it claims to be the interior memo announcing the free Windows Phone 7 handsets — from mobile chief Andy Lees, who hasn\’t been having the appropriate of times lately — which sets out Redmond\’s expectation that employees should \” evangelize\” the product at every opportunity, while also setting aside some spare time before launch to develop apps. The speculation, clearly, is to harness Microsoft\’s massive talent pool to aim and get a headstart on populating the Marketplace with compelling content; we\’re just not too sure the \” spare time\” bit is going to move over quite in addition as the \” free smartphone\” part. Either way, you\’ll find the total email from Andy at the source below.
