HDinsightGS_PreviewFeature_vid3

Windows Azure makes many features available in preview mode before they become permanent features. In this video I'll show you how to enable a preview feature. When in preview, features may not be as robust as they will be when incorporated into the product. And for some features, I may have to wait in line for awhile before they're enabled on my Windows Azure account. For example, some feature requests are only provisioned once a month. Start and the account center and click "preview features." For this video, we'll enable this one right here at the top. Click "try it now". The 3-month free trial is exactly what I want, so I click the check mark. Because this feature is still in preview, it may take awhile to be enabled on my account— more than a week if it's very popular or if it's being upgraded. I have now added a preview feature to my Windows Azure service account. Please visit windowsazure.com for more information. [Microsoft]
