Azure Services?
Just looking around to try and figure out why the plugin is broken at the moment but had another question come up as well... The Live Services uses Azure to do the delegated authentication, which is fine from this link... https://live.azure.com/Cloud/Provisioning/Services.aspx However if I look at the main Azure site the closest thing I can get is this... http://dev.live.com/ and this... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/ Neither of which link to the Live Services Azure area on the first link. Also on the main Azure site it mentions the service charging from next year once it's out of CTP. So questions are... - is the current service we are using supported and continuing to be supported? - will it remain free for education? - is it stable and won't be changed \ broken without notice? Getting a bit concerned by the stability of this at the moment as I have to make a decision on the user authentication method very soon and it has to be reliable...

Dug a bit deeper and found the link via some other documents via http://dev.live.com/liveid/ (click delegated authentication) but still unsure about the other issues in the 1st post
Get Microsoft Silverlight
