.Net 4.5 and Windows Server 2012 on Windows Azure

In case you missed the announcements at BUILD this week, we now support .Net 4.5 on both Windows Azure Web Sites and Cloud Services. Additionally, Cloud Services has a new OS version 3 that runs Windows Server 2012. I'll write up a more detailed post shortly, but if you were waiting for the ability to use async/await, Web Sockets, or any of the many new features in .Net 4.5 or Server 2012 in the cloud you can now do so!
