This is a stupid comparision of Azure and Force. Both have different purpose. Force.com comes with several constraints, while Azure provides you raw power.

needs music to dress it up

Most of the development and deployment experience will change when Scott Gu gets in to Azure team.... Thats for sure... However this is not apples to apples comparison

This video is for the script kiddies. I refuse to belive that a experience programmer would think otherwise.

I am currently coding an application in both. You are comparing apples to oranges here, and obviously self service to your Anti-Microsoft tilt.

1. With Azure I can have any App of my own making

2. With Salesforce, you work with their constraints

I use both, I like both, but Microsoft Azure is what I would use for apps that you want to write from the ground up.

I guess you are speaking to the script kiddies with your comparison.

Now try to coordinate work from multiple teams/sandboxes. And get your code in source control. Oops, need to install Eclipse. Now sync to your metabase. Role Hierarchies? Sorry, can't be copied via meta data, must manually track and copy.

This is not really an apples to apples comparison. Go head to head with SharePoint 2010 is a more correct one. Azure should be compared to SFDC raw Java-based VM offering, not Azure.

right!! u potray as if one has to install microsoft software everytime they build an app. u call this objective comparision?

Just boring... with less objectivity.
