Hi, I'm one of the co-founders and core devs of Ethereum. Ethereum wasn't build/implemented for or on Azure. Microsoft showed support for Ethereum by offering BaaS (Blockchain as a Service) and have now adopted our in-house programming language Solidity within VS. Solidity is our higher level smart contract language that can compile down to EVM byte code (EVM - Ethereum Virtual Machine). I can't tell you whether Ethereum will take of or not, to me it already has. Consider me highly biased being the original author of Ethereum's most used implementation :-) To get a good feel of Ethereum and the community; take stroll through our community reddit [1], github client repo [2], solidity language [3] and some more documentation [4]. Warning: 2 & 3 are for our technical enthusiasts, 4 is very interesting. Enjoy! :-) - [1] http://reddit.com/r/ethereum http://reddit.com/r/ethereum - [2] https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum - [3] https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ - [4] https://ethereum-homestead.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ https://ethereum-homestead.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
