Microsoft officially confirmed on Thursday that Angry Birds will be available for Windows Phone 7 on April 6th, 2011.

This should not come as a total surprise to you as we had reported that Rovio (the makers of Angry Birds) had also confirmed the same, not much before. In addition to this confirmation, Microsoft also announced the new spring lineup of games for Windows Phone 7, which includes other titles like:

• Doodle Jump
• Plants vs Zombies
• Hydro Thunder Go
• Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I
• geoDefense.

All of these games alongwith Angry Birds will be available on April 6th and will feature Xbox LIVE integration, Achievements, leaderboards and more.

The confirmation of Angry Birds coming to Windows Phone 7 reflects the fact that after Android and iOS, even Windows Phone 7 is gaining market share as a popular mobile platform. Angry Birds is one of the most popular iPhone apps and is also enjoying huge success when released for Android platform.
