Microsoft
Bill Gates Windows Azure Platform Introductory Special Offe

Internet & Web

It is a false advertising campaign. They offer a Free Introductory offer. Its free alight! We all know nothing comes for free in this life. The offer clearly states 25 hours compute time free. Trouble is how you and I interpret compute time. I thought CPU time, if thought the same - wrong. Compute time = time ie. Hours on the clock time. So if you use the service and have a live (active or stopped) (production or stage) application you will be charged 0.072732 Per hour of service uptime, so for a month 7 days * 4 weeks = 672 hrs 25 hrs (free, yes 1 day, just 1 day per month is free) = 647 * 0.072732 = $47.057604 per month To stop the charges immediately delete all applications and services. Email customer support and ask them to cancel your trial account. As a previous lover of Microsoft and as a developer for a long time I couldnt understand why anyone would use anything other than Microsoft. My opinion has changed. With this and windows 7 I see Microsoft are a company going backwards, they have no regard for ethics or their customers. Avoid avoid avoid.
