I see this as a marketing move and that's all.
It is even a bad marketing move (because it will never mean anything to devs).

When a device is compatible to a platform, then it supposedly is compatible to a platform. For this, the emulator is enough.

If a device is not compatible to the platform, bad for the vendor.

Leaving this aside, it would never work for the scale of WM dev base. How many hundreds of devices should be available. Should a ticket system be used to wait in line and test on a specific device? And what devices should be there? There is no Microsoft BRANDED WM device.

Either I am missing something or this whole idea means nothing (and means... erm... less than nothing, if it was for WM).
