Cloud applications

  • 發行項

Now that we are getting closer to releasing Windows Azure, I wanted to check and see who is planning to have an application in the cloud.  Or if you already have an application in the cloud, what you are doing there and how it is working for you.

Please note, I understand that other companies are hosting cloud applications and by no means am I wanting to compare the hosters.  I want to focus on the types of applications you are using or planning on using.
