I would like to apologize for the misinformation that I made at Confoo on March 12th, 2010. After many of late nights staying up to prepare my slide decks and demo’s for the Confoo Conference, I had misread an email from the Windows Azure Platform Team.
Unlike stated on March 12th Windows Server Fabric will not be releasing in “ A week or so “ rather there is no definite release date for the private cloud version of Windows Azure rather, just a projection of Q3 of 2010. Windows Server AppFabric Beta 2 was just released March 1st, and is available for download.
To clarify, Windows Azure AppFabric will be Commercial on April 9th, 2010. This means that if you are currently using the AppFabric in your Windows Azure account billing will start to accumulate starting at 12:00 AM GMT on April 9, 2010.
