Rude awakening

rsc

I received this today:

So now I have to choose to continue this project and pay Microsoft, or quit and work on something else.

Here's my "Free Trial" cost analysis:

So....if I choose to continue to work on this project for another month, it will cost me approx $150 without changing any features.

I'm not sure its worth the price just to enter a contest.

  • Now that the issue preventing my Reply Why no Reply link on this post has returned, I can ask my question.

     

    What service(s) are you paying for that are required to support the Azure? What is the threshold for the service to cost more than free?

     

    I don't recall reading the requirements that indicates a cost. This seems like a shady up sell opportunity. "Hey you can have this development system for free. As your development progresses and you are ready to delivering milestones, we will charge you. "

     

    I have a strong negative bias to the products offered by the MS blackhole. These kinda gotchas just seems to be the hair on their blackhole.

    I think the problem is the default settings lead you to the costlier solution. Carefully select the option for free. And always read the doc for clues to what maybe free.
