Azure is a cloud hosting solution for Windows applications. I don't see it as a direct threat to web hosting companies or to Linux in general.

If anything Amazon EC2 is having a larger impact, and more on dedicated servers and collocation markets.

But MS provide multi language information, it's good for no english user. And I think that the security for SQL/storage space or windows support is better than others. (base on windows only...)

Azure is a sandbox cloud. You do not get a server, you get a .NET virtual machine. You have to create an application specifically for Azure, legacy applications cannot be run in Azure.

I am located in Peru and Microsoft is promoting an event (in spanish) about deployment of Azure apps.
Here is the URL: http://www.microsoft.com/latam/interop/convencion/

Yep. It seems much more flexible to use EC2 with a Windows instance than Azure. Of course it does have an administration over head associated with it.
