mm.. I might have to investigate this Office365 thing! thanks for the tip! 
ad no idea it could apply to email as well!

Just grab Office 2013 off your MSDN instead
|
|
|
|
|
err... I need a SMTP server and mailbox, office does nothing for that!
On the other hand, he seemed to implied that Office365/Outlook on he web will!
Anyhow, also asked on MSDN forum, apparently there is some mail solution for azure!

In that case Office 365 won't help either its the licence thats different.
You can get an SMTP server with IIS or there are a multitude of other free ones. You could also run Exchange if you need that level of functionality.
Microsoft also host cloud based Exchange servers basically the same as with Office 365/2013 but with a private server - that presumably is the mail solution for Azure you mention.

mm... something to investigate! thanks!

If you have an MSDN account you probably also get free Office365 credits too. I have the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription (poor man's MSDN) and I get £65/month of free Azure credits (for dev use only, but that's cool) and five free Office365 licenses. Outlook365 is great; I ditched GMail to use Office365 instead.

You can host a web site *FREE* on Azure. it's shared hosting, not scalable.

Furthermore you can spin up a pre-fabbed wordpress site (w/ 20mb MySQL db) for free w/ 1 click.
For e-mail, just use outlook.com

Mocking up user interfaces?
I don't think MS SketchFlow is available anymore.

I've got to second basalmiq, I've used it a couple of places and it is really solid. If you are doing responsive web apps and need to build a high-fidelity prototype, than this can be useful http://macaw.co/[^], but that would come after basalmiq.

|
|
|
|
Notepad?
I think others around here use Balsamiq.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Visio has that feature.
On the free side, there is The Pencil Project[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

That's right, I forgot about Visio.
