We do still intend to support secondary indexes. However, no firm timeline has been established for when that capability will be made available. Based on our most current information, secondary indexes are not going to be released as a feature in 2011.

At PDC 2010, we announced that the Web role will soon provide full IIS functionality, which enables multiple IIS sites per Web role and the ability to install IIS modules. The full IIS functionality enables developers to get more value out of a Windows Azure instance. Full IIS Support will be generally available to customers later this year.
Please let us know if there are important scenarios that the combination of admin mode + full IIS won’t solve for you.

I would also like web and worker roles to be deployed on the same compute instance. This enables small sites to get up and running cost effectively and then as the site expands and as required the worker roles could be split off to separate instances.
Also with web & worker roles on one instance small/starter sites could have the correct software architecture from day 1 and more easily scale as the site grows. Thus making azure a more attractive platform.
