I have observed that Windows Azure would definitely dont work with WinXP SP2.At the minimum it required Windows Vista.
This is a huge shortcoming in the sense that when I am able to write programs and create Authorities, Containers and Entities for Sql Server Data Services using WinXP SP2 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on my home system why isnt that I am able to do the same with Windows Azure.
Therefore Microsoft should release more products such as Microsoft Exchange and Micrsoft CRM so that developers can learn and write good programs for CRM without actually installing the software on his/her machine which is time consuming.

Hi All

I have read about Windows Azure, .NET Data Services and SQL Server Data Services.

I have also read about Cloud Computing in general.

A few questions for Microsoft guys concerned with Cloud computing.

While I was able to write regarding SQL Server Data Services and .NET Services why isnt that Microsoft is providing HOL and Sample walkthroughs for other excellent technologies and products such as CRM, Exchange, WMI, ADSI

For example since I know WMI, COM and C++ on my home computer I can write applications to query WMI for WinXP SP2 but one of the limitations is that I cant write applications for other server range of O/S’s from Microsoft.

I know through Cloud computing that would definitely be possible.

Also one of the other things I have noticed is that while I am able to write programs for SQL Server Data Services and .NET Services why am i not able to do with Windows Azure and Live suite of products.

As someone who has spent years developing AJAX web applications for a living, I can tell you that the web is completely incapable of delivering desktop-class applications.

AJAX was one step forward in reach (reach being the number of users that can be targeted by an application) and 10 steps backwards in ease of use, performance, ease of development, maintainability and architecture. MS, Google, Apple and Adobe know this, which explains why they are all so eager to create their own plugin/framework that runs on the browser and over the web.

This could, in theory, become the new desktop OS (or more like application platform) and the one who dominates that area has the chance of becoming the new Microsoft (or, in Microsoft’s case, remaining as Microsoft). While MS is not the first to release their browser plugin (Silverlight/Mesh), they are way ahead of the game because the .NET Framework was ultimately made to be portable if necessary.

Should MS lose its desktop domination to the browser, you can expect the .NET Framework to start shipping as a plugin for existing browsers across various OSes. Heck, Silverlight 2 is little more than a subset of .NET 3.5 that runs on the browser.
