2012년 5월 9일부터 윈도우 모바일 6.x 의 마켓플래이스 서비스가 중단됩니다.

 

 

어느날 마이크로소프트에서 메일 한통이 쑥~ 왔습니다.
이제 윈도우 모바일 6.x의 마켓플래이스 서비스를 중단한다고 합니다.
중단일은 2012년 5월 9일부터이고 이미 올라온 자료들에 대해서도 이제 모두 삭제된다고 합니다.
지금도 윈모계열의 스맛폰을 아끼며 사용하고 계신분은 필요한 프로그램은 미리 다운 받으셔야 할것입니다.
윈모6.x는 이미 버려진 자식이지만 공식적으로 버린 자식이 된다고 생각하니 씁쓸하네요~ ㅎ 
아래는 메일의 원문입니다.
