[Create a Windows Azure Account] I start on windowsazure.com and click "pricing." The sliders make it easy to pick the plan that's perfect for me. But since I don't want to get charged to make this video, I'll use the free trial instead. This page gives a summary of what my subscription will contain. Click "try it free." Here I see a monthly summary of my subscription, and Windows Azure lets me know I'll need a mobile phone number and a credit card to sign up. I won't be charged as long a I stay within the spending limits I've set. If I wanted to, I could remove 1 or more of the limits and be charged for extra compute transfer and storage. Microsoft wants to make sure I'm a real person signing up for my own account. I enter my cell-phone number and click "send text message." I copy the code from the text I received and click "verify code." Next I'll enter my billing information. My Windows Azure account is being created. It took about 30 seconds to set up my account, and here I am at the welcome screen. Please visit windowsazure.com for more information. [Microsoft]
