At PDC 2010, we announced a number of enhancements to the operator experience on Azure. These include a completely redesigned portal, access to new diagnostic information, a vastly simplified sign-up process, and scenario-based forums to help answer questions and facilitate knowledge sharing.
These Windows Azure enhancements will be generally available by the end of 2010.
Please continue to let us know how we can improve the deployment experience on Windows Azure for you.

This is now on the SQL Azure roadmap, though delivery will be post CY12.

"This is now on the SQL Azure roadmap, though delivery will be post CY12.", but what about people using Table Storage??? Does this mean there will be no Full Text Search feature out of box coming to Table Storage anymore? How do we who are using Table Storage as a backend have this search capability or do we need to re-write everything we did for Table Storage to Sql Azure now? Could you please clarify?

Not being able to do basic linq operations like "where o.PartitionKey.StartWith()" is quite limiting. Having full text search would be extremely welcoming! Otherwise I am thinking to have a worker role creating the Lucene index and put it on the BLOB storage.
I agree with Shaun, deployment taking too long is not acceptable even though you've re-designed a better deployment UI.
