No offense here, but how can you judge on Azure utilizing a project, that is not even an officially supported Microsoft product? There are other ways to deploy JBoss or Ruby on Rails on Azure. Give Google a try :) I am using Azure for over a year now, without running into serious issues that could not be solved with Stack Overflow or similar sources. Never had to use the official support. Azure performance is great and solution development is backed by a great set of tools. That's my personal experience.
