&lt;p&gt;Will the Windows Azure platform expose enough services for the developer to create his or her own version of Live Services, SQL Services, or .NET Services if desired? &amp;nbsp;In other words, will the Microsoft-branded services use any undocumented, or unreleased OS functions to operate, or will all applications regardless of manufacturer be treated equal?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get the impression from Ray Ozzie's Channel 9 interview that each application is sandboxed by URI's (a potential good thing), but I haven't seen anything that explicitly states that all internal applications will be using publicly disclosed OS interfaces. &amp;nbsp;(Still, it is early for PDC, and the answer may be coming soon...) &lt;/p&gt;

I'm interested to explore how well large table data scales and what you can do with indexing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've kicked off a new blog about the whole topic and hope to assist the community in exploring this fantastic concept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've found a few blogs around the place including those mentioned on the Azure site, but is there any you could recommend? Obviously this one is not being updated frequently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;

We have just moved one of our internal application to Azure. And it is working fine. Especially post launch of the Azure SDS things are pretty smooth. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prior to the launch of Azure-SDS it was huge task of modifying all queries. But now it sounds easy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have heard that 10GB is going to be the limit for all cloud databases? Is it true? Or is it going to be only a temporary limitation?&lt;/p&gt;
