Microsoft put the Angry Birds icon in a commercial without asking permission of the developer and without even knowing if Rovio Mobile “the developer of Angry Birds” will create a Windows Phone 7 version of Angry Birds. Rovio is mad and published a tweet yesterday saying: We have NOT committed to doing a Windows Phone 7 version. Microsoft put the Angry Birds icon on their site without our permission.

Microsoft sent TechFlash the following statement: “It appears information was mistakenly posted to Microsoft’s website, and has been removed.” Sure enough, the offending logo is gone now.
