Israeli developer Gizmox has announced that its flagship product Visual WebGui now enables customers to build and deploy applications for Microsoft’s cloud computing environment, Windows Azure.
Gizmox's Visual WebGui is a tool for building rich AJAX or Microsoft Silverlight user interfaces on top of the .NET framework for web applications using control, theme and form designers.
