Will this Microsoft application be available in the marketplace ? And for free ?

Then it kinda kills the many man months that WP7 developers have invested the past months to offer a Twitter client when WP7 releases.

This just highlights how each dev needs to find ways to distinguish there app from others. So if your building a twitter app, you gotta have good design and great addon services to compete.. Simple!

I don't think it kills the man months people have utilized to offer a Twitter client at all. If your application looks, feels, and runs better than the Microsoft one it will be used. Also, I think that building a Twitter application wasn't a very good investment by developers to begin with. Twitter applications have saturated the mobile marketplace and from a competitive standpoint I don't feel it is a smart investment. I would take the writing of a Twitter client as an investment in knowledge and not in trying to make a competitive product in the marketplace.
