I see that version 2.0 of the Service Bus has been released onto Azure, but the Windows Server version is still stuck at version 1.0
Does Service Bus have a future for on-premise applications? Obviously we'd all like to put everything in the Cloud, but real companies have real legacy applications running on-premise and you can't re-write them all in months (or even years). Our ideal architecture is to use Service Bus to loosely couple legacy applications with new applications as we gradually move to the cloud, but we need to know that this is going to be supported.
Or is Microsoft just throwing all of its energy at Azure and ignoring on-premise applications?
