Just as we told you it would, Microsoft has officially confirmed that Angry Birds, the popular game by Rovio will be coming to Windows Phone 7.

Those who’ve waited for this moment before switching their phone and their operating system can get the new game, which will presumably be the same as the iOS and Android versions on 25 May.

In an exclusive chat with Pocket-lint in February, Rovio’s “Mighty Eagle” Peter Vesterbacka told us that they were “working on it” when we asked him if and when Angry Birds will be available on Windows Phone 7.

At the time Vesterbacka blamed Microsoft holding up the launch of Angry Birds on the platform: “Let’s just say, Microsoft has a lot of lawyers," he said.

It seems those lawyer troubles are now far behind them.
