.NET Micro Framework Partners

We have a number of new partners who will be working at the forefront of .NET Micro Framework application development. These partners all went through intensive training with us and acquired an in-depth knowledge of the platform. They will now apply this knowledge in porting the framework to various hardware scenarios.

If you are seriously interested in building devices and applications using .NET Micro Framework or becoming an OEM for .NET Micro Framework products, please send information about your company, project, and level of interest to netmfbiz@microsoft.com. After you've signed up, we will have someone get directly in touch with you. In the coming months, you can expect to see more commercial products shipped on the .NET Micro Framework including everything from deeply embedded, headless applications to richly graphical and inexpensive displays.
