Sorry The VAR Guy didn't grab more time with you at WPC. Keep our resident blogger posted as you evaluate Azure, BPOS, etc. John @ 10: The VAR Guy will look into that and report back this week. He promises. Simplicius @12: Microsoft's profits have fallen dramatically. But tanking? That's a bit misleading. Microsoft remains the world's most profitable software company.

Simplicius @12: Microsoft’s profits have fallen dramatically. But tanking? That’s a bit misleading. Microsoft remains the world’s most profitable software company.

Varguy,
Is it that Microsoft will support these browsers only on a Microsoft OS or will it work with Firefox on Linux or Safari on OS X?

First off, I have never been so pumped as I am right now to be a Microsoft Partner, these guys have finally figured it out and your post here simply proves this. Hosting Web apps for our clients or allow them to host their own. This is pure brillance...and smart to allow cross browser support, even I the Microsoft fan has been swayed to the Apple MacBook (running Win 7 and Office 2010) and Firefox. Kevin Turner, Allison Watson and of course Steve B put on an awesome event and the partners are jazzed.

Thus compatibility will be achieved automatically, not by some special Ms moves. Silverlight has cross-browser features built-in.
