As a non-tech observer, Azure actually struck me as an honest attempt by Microsoft to add a compelling offer to the mix. However, their status page-cum-website seem to be hosted on Azure itself, which is ridiculous in a situation like this. (Almost like Twitter having a status page on tumblr.) Worst of all, even www.twitter.com/windowsazure offers no comment at all so far. Isn't this wiping out any credibility they might have built up with developers? Is anyone affected?

Edit: if this truly is because of 2/29, I guess anyone signing up from now on will get perfect service.

At least for the next 4 years

I don't think that's true. Because I remember giving somebody a lot of pain for exactly that when I worked there. Of course, it might have been gone down for other reasons.
