You can follow and interact with the show at @CloudCoverShow. In this episode, we are joined by Abhishek Lal — Senior Program Manager for Windows Azure Service Bus — who shows us some enhancements to the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows 8. Abhishek discusses how developers can use service bus to handle a variety of messaging patterns and how those patterns can be used to build great Windows 8 Metro Apps. In the News: Announcing SQL Azure Data Sync Preview Update Second Preview of our Hadoop based service for Windows Azure Microsoft Online Backup Service using Windows Azure Blob Storage In the Tip of the Week, Nathan discusses a blog post by Windows Azure MVP Magnus Mårtensson that shows us how to run .Net 4.5 Beta on Windows Azure.  Finally, since we are new at this we have a few corrections:  Nick's twitter handle is listed as @cloudnet at the end of the show. Due to Nick's thick Australian accent, it sounds like that is what he said. In fact, Nick's twitter handle is @cloudnick. Second, we need to clarify one statement about billing for Service Bus messaging. For peaklock messages, we will bill for a message even if you lock and then abandon/crash. In the episode we stated this as not being charged. en Fri, 24 May 2013 23:43:26 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 23:43:26 GMT Rev9
