I've done some WP7 work, and was quite impressed with the platform; I loved seeing the influence of capabilities-based security in the APIs.

But, WP7 demands an SL/XNA and .NET background. It seems like reaching non-Microsoft developers was/is a tall order whereas iOS can tolerate C,C++ or PhoneGap solutions. Do you feel that Microsoft had some success in bringing people into the tent?

It's really hard to know for sure, but there are 40K apps and games in the WP7 marketplace. Just 13 months ago there were 0.
