Today, Microsoft celebrates the one-year anniversary of the launch of the Windows Azure platform with an announcement of two big customer wins – wireless operator T-Mobile USA Inc. and tech giant Xerox Corp.

The two companies will use the Windows Azure platform to develop new cloud computing services such as T-Mobile’s “Family Room,” a new mobile software application that helps families share photos and coordinate activities — like a family movie night — across multiple devices.

Xerox has used the Windows Azure platform to develop Xerox Cloud Print, a cloud-based printing service that enables end users to route a printing job to any available public printer directly from their mobile devices.

Since its launch a year ago, the Windows Azure platform has been adopted by customers in 41 countries. Some of those customers include automobile manufacturers Kia Motors and Volvo, the Associated Press and 3M.
