Windows Azure or Amazon EC2 for ASP.NET MVC Development?

Question

If you want to build enterprise ASP.NET MVC applications that use MSSQL databases is it better to use Windows Azure or Amazon EC2?

I didn\'t find any satisfying answ

Answer 1

We currently host our own app on a private cloud for our customers and we're currently migrating it to Azure as an R&D project.

Our product utilizes the Free Text Search feature of MSSQL Server. Unfortunately that hasn't made it into Azure.

I'm thinking that moving to Azure now will make it more difficult, compared to AWS, to switch to, or to support any other platform down the track.
