This image contains a minimal distribution on a 10G system disk. Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 29000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. How to create an image: http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/WindowsAzureImage
The script above would upload the VHD, create the VM & then delete it. I used it in verbose mode until it was done copying the vhd into my Azure storage account as an Image & then killed the script. I used the Azure management portal to create a VM from my Images. It asked me for a user name and pwd which worked. I have Debian on Azure. It locks out root as a login. You can get to it via "sudo" from a normal user account. Once you're logged in as a regular user, you can change this behavior if you want.
