I work on Azure (billing, to be specific) and helped make this change. We looked at the bill and decided to simplify it. That's all. I'm amazed at how bloggers took this out of proportion - this is not part of some uber-corporate rebranding move. Relax, people.

Can you confirm whether the email quoted in the article is, in fact, the entire email that was sent out? If it is, it's just too vague; I think anyone reading that email would think, "They are dropping the Azure brand/name" given the recent "Windows Live" re-branding. I also think that a lot of people hated "Windows Live" so strongly that they might have been rooting for another "See how dumb MSFT marketing is?" moment.
