    There isn't much of a direct relationship at this point yet. 

    Azure is a Microsoft cloud platform that you can built cloud applications on.  Microsoft CRM and CRM Online are pre-built applications (with lots of customization potential xRM).

    I can see that potentially one can have a "meshup"/hybrid cloud app involve Microsoft CRM (On Premise or Online) and some applications/functions running on Azure.

    Overtime, there will be more documentation for the relationships between Dynamics CRM and Windows Azure.  Below is another useful example of the opportunities between the two offerings.

    Thanks for the reply!

    It looks like there a number of videos that may help me (search on xRM on the page) at the PDC site:

    It is interesting that SugarCRM runs on Azure. I suppose CRM Online will also at some point in the future (but I guess no info is available yet)?

    Azure is getting a lot of buzz these days - supporting both open and close source partners.

    Building cloud applications is becoming easier which is great news for the consumers.

    Frank,

    Do you know if Microsoft has announced their intention to run Dyanmics CRM in Azure and general timeframe?

    Would that have major advatages or is it not so important?

    Nothing specific that I'm aware of, but it may already using components/infrastrucutre of Azure.  Since Microsoft is the developer of the CRM Online application and giving it the 99.9% uptime and overall support - doesn't matter too much to the end consumer.

    What perspectives are you looking at this from? 3rd party applications?
