One interesting thing to notice is that Azure folks are guaranteeing that the data will be written thrice in the same data center (and at a later date they will provide Geo Replication capability). What would be interesting to know is when we delete a particular table, do they mark all three locations for garbage collection? A nice idea would be to provide a recovery mechanism from one of the other two places where my data is written.
