The Azure Services Platform is continuously expanding its interoperability in a standards based approach.  Here’s another great example: Live framework is the uniform way of programming Live Services from any platform, programming language, application or device.  As a concrete example, check out a very useful “how do I” screencast  - - Access Windows Live Profiles and Contacts from PHP apps - -  by Program Manager Nishant Gupta.  He also provides a code snippet you can use to step along with the video.

    Very handy links, thank you. Two really minor notes about the site:

    in firefox the text appears to run over your right hand column.

    also, the tab order on these comment textboxes is a bit messed up.

    Thank goodness the azure fabric works on the RC. This is the one thing that had made me regret the "upgrade" to the previous release of 7. Only one day to go till I get my hands on it...

    I too was very surprised that it doesn't seem to be possible to do any Azure development under XP. Like many businesses, our developers are still running XP on the desktop and it is disappointing that we are prevented from experimenting with Azure Services.
