]]> Comment on Initial Thoughts on Windows Azure, and a comparison to EC2 by Walter http://winwrench.com/blog/?p=21#comment-87 Walter Tue, 03 May 2011 22:08:33 +0000 http://winwrench.com/blog/?p=21#comment-87 Hi Billy, Thank you for your feedback and for trying Azure. Given you're relatively new to Azure, I recommend you try the Quick Starts available on MSDN at Windows Azure Code Quick Start (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg663908.aspx). (Full disclosure: I authored those topics. If you have feedback on the topics, please use the MSDN feedback contained in the topic pages.) Thank you, Walter Hi Billy,

We're using Azure and I agree with your comments. It's a bit confusing at first to get your head round, takes a bit of time to get the setup correct with the certificates etc. However, once you've gone through this then future deployments are pretty much 'one click' from within Visual Studio which makes life very easy when you're developing/testing/releasing in an agile fashion!

]]> Comment on Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate: Wow, it is actually very good by Billy http://winwrench.com/blog/?p=9#comment-48 Billy Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:30:59 +0000 http://winwrench.com/blog/?p=9#comment-48 As I said to the previous commenter, generally I agreed with that up to IE8. As I said in the post -- I was suprised that IE9 was a product I'd actually consider decent. But because I work on various Web things for the university, I was forced to install it to test various things, and found that I actually did like using it.

But if I'm going to have to do a math class, I want to make it actually be useful. I hate just wasting time, particularly when I'm paying 40+k a year for the privilege of wasting that time.
