Wow. Marklark, marklark, marklark.
Okay, let's take out words that have no meaning.
"Windows Azure is an operating system that serves development, hosting, and management for Azure. Windows Azure provides developers storage to host and manage web applications on Microsoft data centers."
Ah, so it's another flavour of Windows Server, to do what you're already doing, but now with extra ticks in the product matrix, and a place to shift new technologies so that people have to upgrade from their already fine Windows Server Vanilla.
(That's just a satirical drive, whilst I wait for the site to load. I truly cannot discern anything useful from that marketing drivel. That's the kind of crap you read to managers and they nod and understand it all, somehow. I think they hear the sound of money, or something.)
