I understand that... and to be honest, it looks cool... It would be nice if they simply implemented a tiered "todomvc" style application + backend in each of the supported languages/backends ... I know this would be a bit of an effort from them, but would probably better demonstrate what they are trying to accomplish here.

I know that they have PaaS structures, which I actually did a proof of concept hello world against just yesterday, with node.js which was actually pretty cool. It's much better in terms of developing against than it was in the past when I'd looked at it. Apparently it's a similar experience for PHP (not sure on python or ruby though). The github hook integration was pretty damned cool as well... merge to `{BRANCH_NAME} == push` to production/test/qa etc. And definitely more straight forward than setting up your own dokku-alt or other cluster yourself.

Like I said, it just seems to me the terminology and marketing message is very muddled. I don't mean to say that I don't get it... I just think it's more convoluted that it needs to be. As an aside, the more I play with Azure Tables, the more awesome it becomes...
