 Windows Azure Pricing
The simple answer to how much Windows Azure costs to get started is
easy. It is FREE! It is free to setup a Windows Azure account that gives you
access to a trial account that you can use for testing.

Once you do setup this FREE account, you can convert it and all the machines
on it to a PAY account. However, this is a MANUAL process.
