Tweet-length definition of Windows Azure

  • Article

Mary Jo Foley has the first of a series today on how Windows Azure came to be.  A great “behind the scenes” look at how Microsoft’s “Windows in the cloud” got started… before even Bill Gates knew about it. 

Definitely worth a look in its own right. 

Additionally, there was a great topic that came up in the comments:

Can you describe Windows Azure in a sentence?  How about in a tweet-length? 

Here’s my personal take on the challenge! 

Windows Azure = coordinated collection of storage, management & compute srvcs that run your code and transparently scale to any capacity.
