I had to find a tradeoff between visual overview and indexable data.

I know nothing about nothing :) Carlos Miceli wrote something that I totally agree with: http://www.owlsparks.com/advice/the-uninteresting-goal-of-expertise/ Since I read that I prefer to be called a student. AZUG has been.. Cute. There is, in particular, a presentation from one of the founders (he works for CapGemini) that is noteworthy: the guy wrote a smart business insight, especially the last part speaking about creating opportunities. I will ask him if I can publish his presentation and mention him: I am not sure he'd appreciate I would do that without him being informed. Jason,

You seem to know a lot about Azure and the other cloud computing services and I suspect you'll get a lot out of the conference. (Also, I didn't mean to suggest that you are not familiar with release cycles - you clearly are.) Alex, I like your analogy of Managed vs. Native code. Writing managed code has its advantages, but certainly doesn't fit all situations. Gabriele, I’ll be curious to hear about your experience at AZUG.

I think Azure is a great product. I am all forth for options. But the real truth is that with Azure, your power is limited. This scenario can be compared to the Managed vs Native discussions. The bottom line is that loving one or the other is mostly based on opinion and personal preferences. I am working with Azure as we speak, and we are planning on using it along side Amazon EC2 and Google Apps Engine. It is the best thing for the job kindda thing. @Jason,
