You may have already seen the announcement about Windows Azure Virtual Machines today; what isn’t immediately clear (thanks to Teo Lachev for the link) is that Analysis Services 2012 Multidimensional and Reporting Services are installed on the new SQL Server images. For more details, see:

SSAS 2012 Tabular is also supported but not initially installed.
Just to echo what Marco said in his blog post from last week, the PASS BI Virtual Chapter is currently looking for presenters, especially from Europe or European-friendly time zones. If you are interested please send some ideas for abstracts plus some information about yourself and your speaking experience to PASSDWBIVC@sqlpass.org. Presenting online is a great way to get speaking experience, especially if you are not able to attend conferences or user groups on a regular basis. We hope to hear from you soon!
