Welcome to the most recent hump day edition of the Daily Slash. It's the middle of the week and we're sure you're pining to get your feet firmly planted to the end of the week, but until we get there, at least you've got us.

Microsoft Interview Explains Development Process, Applications, and Updates
There’s no doubt that with the launch of Windows Phone 7 Series, that things are changing for Microsoft in the mobile market. They’ve decided to revamp everything, and that means the development process is getting a major face-lift as well. While they’re hoping that the main stay of developers from previous version of Windows Mobile will stick around, they also want to make it perfectly clear that new developers can take full advantage of the new Silverlight development process. In the interview we conducted, we learned that Microsoft agrees with everyone else, in that the development process is just as important as the hardware and software, to the survival and success of Windows Phone 7 Series. We also learned how applications will be distributed, upgraded, and everything else in between. Oh, and we find out that some dreams are certainly going to be dashed.
Windows Phone 7 Series Game Hub Video Demonstration
The tiles on the Start screen of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series is one of those features that we just can’t get enough of. Aside from the fact that they’re interchangeable and customizable, you’ve also got the mix of live Hubs in there that just make them all the more interesting. In the case of the Game Hub, this live tile is always connected to your Xbox LIVE profile, which allows for your LIVE Avatar to pop his or her head up every once in awhile, just to let you know they’re stuck in there.
Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series Bridges the Gap Between the Computer and TV
One of the biggest parts of Microsoft's keynote back in Barcelona, during Mobile World Congress, was the fact that Windows Phone 7 Series would finally do what everyone had been wishing for: integrate Xbox LIVE.

We needed to see it in action. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that time has come. But, what we've been presented with has taken things to a whole new level.

Windows Phone getting Xbox LIVE integration tips Microsoft job ad
Microsoft have tipped their hand for upcoming integration between Xbox LIVE and Windows Mobile, after a job listing was spotted for a "principal program manager" responsible for "bringing Xbox LIVE enabled games to Windows Mobile". While there are no specifics - and it seems unlikely, given the state of current smartphone performance, that we'll see Xbox 360 titles ported to Microsoft's smartphones any time soon - the initial push appears to be bringing avatars, IM chatting and profile browsing to mobile devices.

Xbox 360 piracy bans prompt inevitable class action suit
Been subject to the recent Microsoft ban-fest on Xbox Live, where up to 1m accounts are believed to have been locked out after being modified to play pirate discs? Livid and refusing to take responsibility? Then lawfirm AbingtonIP may be your salvation; they're organising a class action lawsuit which alleges that Microsoft not only over-reacted and ended up blocking accounts where users weren't involved in piracy, but that they did so at least partially to boost Xbox Live re-subscriptions with the advent of MW2 and Halo 3: ODST.
