Hi

Windows Azure brings more functionality to the Cloud, I hope Microsoft makes a good mix with Microsoft ADFS in Windows 2008R2 so you can federate with Microsoft Azure platform with your own forest.
Any Time, any place with every device.
I hope Azure become also available at Live@Edu for Education in the Netherlands.
Great vision of Microsoft !
Greetings, James

Hey Shane, you're right... the video stops playing when hitting full screen. I will have someone look into it. Thanks!

I'm alive. That's good.

Thank you. The intro does give a quick overview of what Azure is but, it doesn't tell me why choose it over using a regular web hosting account like one at any web hoster for Windows IIS7 with .NET.

Why choose Azure over a web hosting account that offers Windows IIS 7 for .NET 3.5, with Silverlight 3, 2x200MB MSSQL, 25 MySQLs, 500MB disk storage, 1 Tera bandwidth per month for $7 USD. Why would I switch to Azure? For $7 per month for a new unproven web application my web host offers much and for $15 I get unlimited MSSQL @ 200mb each, unlimited storage and bandwith, redundancy and daly backups. How is Azure better?
