Created a Windows Azure Links page
After yesterday's post, I've decided to create a single page that I'll update whenever I get a chance with links to sites that are focusing on Windows Azure. It includes both Microsoft and Community sites. Here's a link to it and I'll be adding it to Read More...
Windows Azure Links
I've decided it's probably best to have a single page I update with links to good info on Windows Azure from other peers at Microsoft as well as those coming from the community instead of posting individual entries every once in a while. If you know of Read More...
Azure community off to a great start...
While we're busy planning and working on the next release of the tools it seems a vibrant community has begun to rise around Windows Azure and other related services. It's been really fun to watch this happen as quickly as it has and with great quality. Read More...
Install blocked on Visual Studio SP1?
The Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio runs on top of either Visual Studio 2008 Standard (or above) or Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. However, it requires the SP1 version of these and the installer will block if either of these Read More...
User name with spaces?
Turns out there's a bug in the October CTP of the Windows Azure SDK having to do with user names that contain spaces. It looks like the right folks are on it at this point and it will hopefully get addressed in our next release (still figuring out our Read More...
F# Worker Role type available now too!
I'm not quite sure anymore who was first (doesn't really matter anyway) but I just noticed Luke from the F# team recently posted an MSI that will install an F# Worker Role template that will work against our CTP bits. You can find Luke's post with the Read More...

Windows 7 Support
Yesterday I spoke to two folks trying to get the Windows Azure SDK and our tools working on Windows 7. Unfortunately, we've found that there's something around the time when you try to run your Azure service locally that fails. The right folks are looking Read More...

Steve Marx has shared out a link to the Windows Azure Gallery . If you've got a cool app that you want to share and already received a token (i.e., you can deploy your app), feel free to submit it to the Gallery. Read More...
PDC 2008 Hands On Labs are now available
Jim, our team's PM, points to the Hands On Lab walkthroughs folks have been getting through at the PDC. Here's a link to the details. If you didn't get a chance to do it at the PDC (either because you saw the lines and didn't have the time or you're not Read More...
Video streams of PDC sessions on Windows Azure
If you weren't able to attend the PDC or did but missed any of these keynotes/sessions, the video streams for some are already up and actually really good quality (go Silverlight!). I'll update the links as they come on live but for now feel free to check Read More...

Today was a great day for those of us working on the project . I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be in attendance at the PDC to watch our bits in action in several of the sessions (including the first demo of the keynote today) but also to get a Read More...
