I have been playing around with Azure since it was first released at the PDC. I have since then done several demos for Microsoft and my employer Logica. The demos have been pretty much the same demo over and over, why I stopped the service rather than deleting it.

To be fair, it’s pretty clear stated that this will continues to accrue charges, but if you’re doing demos like I have, –Make sure to delete it!!!

I got billed ~$700 since Feburuary.

It seems that deserved or not, Azure is getting a rep as a service with a hard to control and monitor usage profile. I have spoken to several >net shops that are just fed up and are going to Amazon. One guy said, "I dont care how well integrated, they have lost me forever".

I agree - beware of the bill!

I also got billed because of my contribution to the Windows Azure Developers' Challenge. Basically you cannot do anything useful in Windows Azure without at least accruing 1400-1500 hrs/month). And the MSDN Premium only covers half of that.

Good thing the dollar is like 2 for 1.
