Also improves Dev Center benefits programme



From The Inquirer:

MICROSOFT IS TRYING to attract developers to its Windows Phone mobile operating system, having reduced the cost of a developer membership and improving its benefits.

Microsoft is now offering lifetime accounts for Dev Center, with a one-time registration payment enabling developers to submit apps for Windows Phone and Windows, which costs $19 for individuals and $99 for companies. Previously developers would have had to pay this subscription fee once a year.
