One announcement this week that relates to Windows and cloud computing is the release of a new milestone for .NET Services. .NET Services are a a part of the Azure Services Platform that Microsoft is creating. Milestone 5 (M5) was just released for these services. You can find the Azure Services at http://www.microsoft.com/azure/register.mspx. Until next week…
