title: can i try windows azure free trial without having a credit card?
body: <p>Am trying to make a free account of Windows Azure to discover it, i have provided the verification code, and passed, but it then asked for a credit card number. is that really important.. isn`t that the "3 months free" account, why the credit card needed?
  and if it was, what are my other options if am not having such credit card?</p>
