Exactly, you can even do something hybrid for low cost - Use the dev environment but connect to production queues, blobs and tables.
Remember you can get to all these services from any application (even javascript under full trust - eg desktop gadget), no reason why you couldn't host your web front end on a lower cost hosting. What I'm really interested in is how we can develop apps to run on current servers to eventually be deployed to azure. The website part is easy, I'd probably just use the Azure storage as it is pretty cheap, but has anyone got a simple equivalent to a worker process we could run on our Windows 2003/2008 server? Usually this would be a windows service but these are a pain to deploy to a hosted web server, something under ASP.NET with a simple xcopy deploy mechanism would be awesome. John.

I have a general question that I am sure is asked a lot. How will I, as someone who doesn't own a MSDN subscription of my own, be able to "play" with all the Azure bits come Feb of next year for free? I do this in my free time and don't have any commercial projects running on Azure, I just like to tinker and learn and so on (as I do with other technologies).
