http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/startscreen.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/14/microsoft-developer-preview/)Microsoft (http://www.engadget.com/tag/microsoft) wants to not only make life a little easier for Windows Phone devs but encourage more of them to come into the fold as well, and a new addition to its development program known as the Windows Phone Developer Preview may help nudge a few third parties (not to mention dedicated enthusiasts) in the right direction. The Preview program gives registered developers early access to the latest OS updates -- for right now, that means GDR3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/14/microsoft-gdr3-windows-phone/)-- before it begins rolling out to the eager public. To take advantage of the preview, you'll need either a Dev Center account, an App Studio account or a phone that's registered and unlocked to developers; you also run the risk of bricking your device if you don't do things exactly right. The program will become available tomorrow, so if you're one of the interested folks but don't meet the criteria, you'll want to make sure you get your ducks in a row today.
