Seeding the Microsoft Cloud
Azure is the code name of Microsoft's new and unfinished cloud development and operating system platform, a technology we covered rather thoroughly in
this recent cover story. While the beta (or "community technology preview," in Microsoft's bizarre parlance) is only a few months old, there's already a
second rev of the test software.
The key to exploiting Azure is to first know Visual Studio. A big part of the Azure test release is actually a set of Visual Studio programming and testing extensions.
