Microsoft has just updated the Zune desktop software to version 4.7. This new version finally includes Windows Phone 7 support and and has a fully functional marketplace up and running. The Marketplace currently only features 77 applications (we have already seen the majority of them) that are obviously the ones that have been made available in the past couple of weeks to beta test the infrastructure. Twin Blades is in there, Rocket Riot too and a couple of other games and utilities. Just hit the software update button in the setting menu to download and install the software.
