No points for Windows Phone 7

Xbox Live on the platform to use money instead
With Microsoft moving away from using Microsoft Points on the Windows Phone 7 platform, the company will instead use good old cash instead. While that is not exactly accurate, the truth is that you will be able to pay by credit card/debit card or have the purchase charged to your cell phone bill with your provider.
The new Windows Phone 7 platform will feature Xbox Live integration into the platform which is already attracting a lot of attention. The news that Microsoft will drop their points payment system is certain to be a big hit with many who have complained that the Microsoft Point system is much more of a pain than it is worth. Despite many suggesting that Microsoft should drop the point payment system altogether, as of right now it does not appear that the company has immediate plans to do so.
