Microsoft this week released the Windows Azure Toolkit (WAT), a release that will help to bring the Windows OS and Windows Azure cloud services a bit closer together. This version enables developers to create applications that are optimized for the upcoming Windows 8 OS.
As Windows Azure “evangelist” Nick Harris put it, the WAT for Windows 8 “is designed to make it easier for developers to create a Windows Metro style application that can harness the power of Windows Azure Compute and Storage.”
