Description
The Windows Phone 7 marketplace does not have a concept of a private marketplace. Applications published to the marketplace are visible to everyone. When deploying an application for all the users in a large organization, using the marketplace is the most efficient way to go about it. Developers must take steps to ensure applications deployed to the public marketplace are only used by authorized employees and not the general public.
