Muglia: In terms of the classes of applications, I think you'll see two initial ones, though it's fair to say that people may have an interest in running in this environment any application they would want to run on-premises. But the initial ones I think would be your Web-style applications, which tend be Internet-connected and need geodistribution.
The other class that I think is really interesting is anything that involves working in partnership with others: supply chain sorts of applications, business-to-business, Electronic Data Interchange, those sorts of classes of applications in which you need to connect multiple organizations, and you need to deal with authentication, and you need to deal with network connectivity.
Today it's very complex with virtual private networks and password management, and a whole nasty set of problems to deal with, and Azure has some built-in services to simplify those things, including a service bus to go through firewalls and connect things over the Internet--again, any system to allow people to authenticate. Those are basics that are fundamental, that everyone will really need in this kind of environment.
So, I think you'll see those sorts of things emerge initially, but then you could just imagine all sorts of things. You could imagine people using it for (high-performance computing) applications. That's an area we're looking at, and we certainly are having conversations with a number of academic and other organizations. [...]
