    Windows Azure and Cloud Computing

    Has anyone done development in this platform? How easy/hard is it to do that? Would anyone like to inform me as to how cloud-computing works? Is it more like a web-server or a service running on a server that I can have it do certain things?

    I would like to use it (if possible) to do some number crunching for myself on financial data and the like. I would have a laptop that controls this beast and would communicate directly to my "cloud app" in a secure manner. Thoughts?
    Here are the rules, you must obey them or the gender bender will get you.

    And if you ever think of posting without code-tags, the evil monkey will come after you.

    Try it out. There are many platforms available, all of them are scalable. They have a trial version out, and plenty of training available (free)
