While working together with Microsoft on the Windows Azure SDK for PHP, we found that we needed an popular example application hostend on Microsoft’s Windows Azure. Wordpress was an obvious choice, but not an obvious task. Learn more about Windows Azure, the PHP SDK that we developed, SQL Azure and about the problems we faced porting an existing PHP application to Windows Azure.

Sorry for the demo! Seems my trial account has gone into read-only mode during presentation...

Interesting talk, but due to the MS content a tough crowd. It was good to know what Azure is all about and how you can put WordPress on top of it. The presentation style was OK (humor mixed in, loved the Dilbert transformation;)), but in the end I won't be using it though.

I liked the presentation but didn't see a lot of benefits to start working with Windows Azure.
Nice way of "fixing" Wordpress. To bad it was not contributed to the community but to Microsoft.
