I have been playing with Azure for some time now, and also got few opportunities to put together few POCs. I was using VS 2008 for some of the initial attempts, then moved onto VS 2010 RC. Azure was also in flux and went through several changes.
Now that Azure is a released product, and VS 2010 is also out; I would strongly recommend everyone doing Azure development to get the latest versions of both. VS 2010 has amazing support for Azure when it comes to development as well as deployment to the cloud. Being able to generate a visual UML model from code is icing on the cake (for Azure as well as non-Azure projects).
I also didn;t come across any significant roadblocks in migrating some of the older code to new SDK and VS 2010. But again, none of my solutions were overly complicated.
Overall, the transition has been a positive experience. Thank You Microsoft!! There are many other cool new features in VS 2010 that I look forward to talking about in future posts.
Cheers!!
