But the cleanup has to be done at some point. And, I guess this is the time for MS to move Azure to production and get rid of those stale Hello World apps.

Having said that, I didn’t like the pricing options at all. It reminds me of the legacy of MS that always has a tiered approach to everything – Express, Standard, Professional and Enterprise.

It is a developer company and should make Azure more developer friendly. As you said, I am not comfortable handing over my Credit Card to complete a simple hands-on-lab.

You wouldn’t have pulled out your credit card to deploy tweetpoll or (shudder) even started. I am spilling tears for all the little tweetpolls that will forever remain a twinkle in their creators’ eyes.

In this case I’m not actually that bothered. It would be nice if there were a place for the Azure “Hello World” type apps but I’m not spilling any tears that Tweetpoll isn’t going to be around anymore.
