Thanks for the great show! But whats up with the throughput on these queues?? Isn't it about 500 msg/min or something?

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2010/05/10/windows-azure-storage-abstractions-and-their-scalability-targets.aspx, the scalability target for queues is 500 transactions per second (not minute).

Thanks Steve. I got it all wrong then. 500 msg per sec is actually pretty OK, and you can also put up as many queues as you like, right? So say I need about 2000 msg/sec throughput, I could create queue1 to queue4 and come out at about 2000 msg/sec. Thanks a lot for answering anyway! You guys way cool
