Today we released a number of great enhancements to Windows Azure. These new capabilities include:

  • Mobile Services: HTML5/JS (CORS) Client Support and Windows Phone 7.5 Support
  • Web Sites: Mercurial Source Control Support, DropBox Support
  • HDInsight: New offering that enables you to easily deploy and manage Hadoop Clusters

All of these improvements are now available to start using immediately (note: some services are still in preview).
