Azure priceless?

Question

I'm amazed that Azure still hasn't released their pricing break down yet.

Does anyone know what it is going to cost roughly?

Answer 1

I think this is about as close as we're going to get for now:

Answer 2

All I've heard is "competitive". So maybe the google app engine prices might be an 'indication': http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html

Answer 3

Invest your time and energy learning LINQ and WCF. Then if Azure's pricing makes it work for a project you have in the future, you won't have much of a learning curve.
