## Notes ##

* Advantages:
    * Unlike Azure Service Bus, can be installed on-premise.
    * It's the same code base as Azure Service Bus, so you can develop and test locally before deploying to the cloud.
* Considerations:
    * Never hear about it much since first release in 2012. Any risk of MS retiring it?
    * Deployable to Windows servers only.
