Expert Panel Q&A featuring Scott Guthrie, Dave Campbell, and Mark Russinovich

The Discussion

• 

  Is there a plan to have downloadable apps, downloadable components for Windows Azure?

• 

  I have an application that requires reliable event scheduler (simiarl to Quartz library for Java and Quartz.NET libary for .NET).

  I read that this functionality is not supported yet by Azure.   Is it in your plan to implement that.

   

• 

  Will Azure ever support "persistent VMs" where the VM will not be reset after every migration?

• 

  I like the improvements Scott. Good job. Needed your web touch.
  Still have some issues on the billing side. I have a sub for $10/mth and one month is $34.00. You go to click on that bill and you get "Resource not available." Funny it happens to the only bill I have questions on?

  Shards and multi-tenant is really welcome feature.
