at the moment I am using a free trial account for windows azure.
The question is if when the trial period expires, can I update the account to a 'normal' one and set a spending monthly limit? because this website (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jimoneil/archive/2011/12/28/windows-azure-trial-account-spending-limit.aspx) says 'no'. The info is a little bit old and the free trial conditions changed, so I am not 100% sure.
(Spending monthly limit doesn't mean that I always will pay the same, isn't it? but I will pay max. what I choose and when the price is reached then the services stopped…?
I don't know if the default pricing is set to pay-as-you-go.
Thanks.

Here is a link to the Azure Billing FAQ
In this link it states that all trials will rollover into subscriptions automatically unless you specify otherwise.
The default account type is set to pay as you go with whatever spending limit you hav chosen.
Lastly - if you go over your spending or allocation limits, the service gets disabled until you either up your limit or pay your bill.
Hope this helps.
