Visaul Studios unless you went to school or have alot of time , takes to long to make a game or app. Its about the tools , Microsoft better start making tools for the average person to learn development. That way more people with great ideas can develop for the platform.
I agree. That's probably why Microsoft created a whole separate IDE for just the WP7 platform. And best of all, they made it free. I have no clue what they were thinking when they deiced to make Visual Studio Professional a requirement to develop WM apps, and then made it cost $800... So now they've released the IDE for WP7 ands it doesn't cost anything to use. It still costs to register with the Windows Marketplace in order to submit apps, but at lerast you dont have to drop $800 to get the process started...
