小篇還記得註冊做學生開發者的時候，Geotrust認證係一個幾麻煩的步驟，而現在Microsoft取消這個認證無疑會吸引其他平台的開發者加人。

App Hub中對認證的說明：

AppHub – GeoTrust verification for individuals and students cancelled

Microsoft has canceled the GeoTrust verification for individuals and students with the last AppHub update:

Individual and Student Identity Validation individuals will be verified using the information provided and their credit card information

Company Identity Validation

GeoTrust will contact the Corporate Approver to validate the information provided during registration

咁做一定會增加個人開發者的數量，長遠對Marketplace中App和Game的增長和多元化有很大的幫助。
