XNA Game Studio Express (and Framework) are Jolt Finalists!It's delightful to see that our XNA Framework and XNA Game Studio Express products have become finalists in the Jolt Awards for 2007! Traditionally, gaming-related developer products don't get much attention from that community, since those awards tend to lean heavily on traditional IT-related products. Indeed, for 2007, the XNA products are the only game-related products in the list! So, it's quite an honor to be nominated not once, but TWICE for a Jolt Award: - XNA Game Studio Express for the "Development Environments" category
- XNA Framework for the "Libraries, Frameworks and Components" category
Once again, big contrats to the XNA product team for creating something so cool, and a HUGE "Thank you!" from me to the community -- without your enthisiastic embrace of XNA, we'd have just been, well, another Bob (ok, that's stretching it, but you get the idea ) letskilldave.com/archive/2007/01/17/XNA-Game-Studio-Express-_2800_and-Framework_2900_-are-Jolt-Finalists_2100_.aspx
