Thanks to a note from Ralph this evening, I found out that there are some changes brewing with the Marketplace. The 1st on is live and that is the Marketplace being available on the web.

Next up is Microsoft’s support for developers to help fight piracy…

We’ve been gathering input on what we can do to improve the developer experience and have made some subtle but important enhancements to the developer portal to enable easier uploading of images, greater insight into account status and several other refinements based on feedback from developers. Today’s update also provides more advanced anti-piracy protection. While the underlying technical changes will be transparent for customers, developers will now be able to take advantage of these new protections by following the steps outlined in this anti-piracy whitepaper. As always, updates to existing applications can be submitted for free. To learn more about developing applications for Windows phones, head over to the Windows Mobile for Developers site.

For a more on the changes coming down, head over to Team Blog for their announcement.
