Windows Azure Marketplace

The Windows Azure™ Marketplace is an online marketplace for developers to share, find, buy and sell building block components, training, service templates, premium data sets plus finished services and applications needed to build Windows Azure platform applications.

The DataMarket section of the Windows Azure Marketplace is now commercially available. The Applications section will be launching in Beta by the end of calendar year 2010.
