Quick "support us" page for donations towards an Azure account
Provide a simple "Donate Now" page for Azure accounts (or only specific account services) that shows:
--Current Account Balance
--Estimated Current Monthly Charge
--Form for donating via credit card towards the account's balance
This would be a huge boon for non-profits and community supported projects. For example, azure-websites could have a "Keep this site alive" link... or server-dependent indie games could direct users to a "Keep the servers up" page...
