My team is the .NET Services team, which covers the Service Bus, Access Control and the Workflow Service.

If you want to get access to .NET Services, you will need to register and join a waitlist.

Also, if you would like to know more about the products, please drop me a line on davidlem at microsoft dot com. I’m looking to do some regular screencasts after PDC, so send me your topics of interest. :)

And if you’re at PDC, make sure you drop by the Azure Services Platform lounge and pick up some cool swag!
