I sat in on a Windows Azure session given by my colleague David Gristwood recently. He talked a great deal about the fundamentals of the Azure platform , the compute and storage capabilities , as well as talking about other components such as SQL Services

Interested in entering our IE8 competition but not sure where to start? Looking for some inspiration? Just got 10mins to kill? Want to see another cheesey opening? I’ve got just the video for you! In this Bluffer’s Guide I describe IE8 webslices, accelerators
