Windows Azure is Microsoft's operating system for cloud computing. As with other technologies for cloud computing, Windows Azure is intended to simplify IT management and minimize up-front and ongoing expenses. With Windows Azure, Businesses and Individuals don't need to keep buying and storing softwares on their systems or bother with the task of updating applications and desktop based programs as Microsoft will manage all that for both Business users and Individual users alike.
Windows Azure is not the 'Cloud' itself, it is just an Operating System like Windows XP, 7, 8, or Windows 10. But while Windows XP, 7, 8, or Windows 10 run on your desktop computers or laptops at home or in your office, Windows Azure runs on the Cloud. (QHN will provide you with comprehensive info on what the 'Cloud' is at your request)
