A few of my favorite… Windows Azure Storage Explorers… (doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, but you get the idea)

Windows Azure Storage Team Blog - Windows Azure Storage Explorers

“We get a few queries every now and then on the availability of utilities for Windows Azure Storage and decided to put together a list of the storage explorers we know of. The tools are all Windows Azure Storage explorers that can be used to enumerate and/or transfer data to and from blobs, tables or queues. Many of these are free and some come with evaluation periods.

…

In the below table, we list each Windows Azure Storage explorer, and then put an “X” in each block if it provides the ability to either enumerate and/or access the data abstraction. The last column indicates if the explorer is free or not.

Wow, who knew there were so many utilities of this kind (well obviously I didn’t ;). It’s cool to see how many are free… :)
