Can you only use .Net code inside Windows Azure, or is it possible to use other development platforms to create your applications? Can I use Java or PHP? How about native C++ code?

Out of the box Azure supports - All .Net code - Fast CGI (Php)

But by setting up your own Azure instance you able to write software that runs on Azure in - Java - C++ - Anything which has an installable Windows Server 2008 component - e.g. Tomcat, apache

You can program applications in .Net that run on Azure straight away, you will just need to install the azure tools for visual studio + the SDK. You can use all of your current .net libraries and they will run on the Azure servers.

The Fast CGI support means you are able to deploy websites written in PHP

Microsoft now also give you the opportunity to set up your own Azure instances. This means that you can configure it with a Tomcat server and serve JSP websites hosted on Azure. Once you have baselined your Virtual Machine instance, you are then able to deploy your software onto instances of that VM.
