In a post on windows azure forums, a Microsoft employee makes clear what we knew already - the latest drop of Windows Azure SDK, January 2009 has issues working in Windows 7.
A number of you must be eager to try out Windows 7 Beta that was announced recently along with the Jan 2009 release of the SDK and VS Tool. Unfortunately, at the moment you may face issues running web role projects through the local development fabric. There is no workaround available at this time. Both the Windows 7 Beta and Windows Azure SDK teams are currently working through the issue and will release a fix/workaround as soon as possible.
The only proposed “solution” is to use a Virtual PC image loaded with a free trial of Visual Studio System SP1. The VPC expires at the end of 2009, so there’s enough time for Microsoft to sort things out.
