Microsoft updates Azure tools; no one understands it now eit
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week released new versions of its Windows Azure software development kit (SDK) and Azure Tools for Visual Studio, tools aimed at helping developers get a handle on the company's coming cloud computing platform. The updates are the first since Microsoft shipped the initial versions of these tools as part of the Azure Community Technology Preview back in October at the PDC (Professional Developers Conference).
Honestly, Azure is still so vague that most people don't quite understand how it works and how all the pieces fit together. Even Microsoft seems a bit confused by Azure: Part of the official Azure roadmap includes a Q2 2009 announcement about what the Azure roadmap is. Seriously, think about that one for a second.
