Windows Azure web sites in West Europe data center

Well ... you cannot create one. They're just saying that there are "capacity issues" and due to that "West Europe was turned off for new subscriptions a short while back".

Is the old M$ is back? They very conveniently forget to tell you that when you're setting up your storage and servers, you cannot have a web site on top of them. Nice. Wouldn't it be great to know that during setup-phase?

They must be really doing well in Microsoft to treat users that badly. I'm sure that popularity of their service wasn't a surprise to them either. Yet another nice example of bad communication from a big corporation.
