Window Azure provides a quick, easy, and—more importantly—powerful way for companies of any size to take advantage of cloud based services. While lots of companies are already moving their applications and services to Windows Azure, others still aren't quite sure how the cloud can help them and their business.

I invited Steve Fox back to my show to help provide some insights on the broad features and capabilities of Windows Azure, and how its core services can play an important role in application development for many types of businesses.

Some of the other resources we talk about are:

Office 365

Windows Azure Starting Point

Meet Windows Azure (June 7th, San Francisco)

TechEd North America (June 11-14, Orlando) - SOLD OUT

TechEd Europe (June 26-29, Amsterdam)
