How to deploy Wordpress Multisite on Windows Azure, my way

I am looking at the pricing calculator of Windows Azure. It tells me that my 20 Wordpress websites will cost: ?132,77 p/month. (shared websites) So not a big deal.

When I researched the internet for solutions with Wordpress Multisite and Azure, I came across this page: http://azurephp.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/how-to-deploy-wordpress-multisite-to-windows-azure-using-the-wordpress-scaffold

And from Stackoverflow this one: How to install a Multi-Site Wordpress on Windows Azure

Both websites do not give me the solution I want, I explain:

The problem with the first URL is, it uses Hosted Service, Storage account and SQL Azure database. Not a big deal, because there are know problems with the latter. Also, with Websites I can choose Reserved and host to 100 websites on a reserved instance. But with this one I do not have experience, so I hope that if you have experience with it and join the discussion.

The last URL I gave, uses Wordpress Multisite with subfolders. What I want is to use Wordpress Multisite with each website his own domains, and own plugins and themes folders.

So to recap, I have two questions, yet separated from each other: - Can I use Windows Azure to deploy Wordpress Multisite on it and have multiple domain names - Can I use Wordpress Multisite to have each website its own directory with plugins and themes and have domain names pointing to them

I dont ask a total solution, just a hint to the right direction.
