Have you used the Beta? it is ridiculously easy to use.

That is what this product is. (I work on this team, by the way)

#6I see this as an uphill battle for MS. Everything about Machine Learning is easy to do on Mac and Linux, so everything for Machine Learning is currently done on those OSes. You can use ML products on Windows right now, but its been so difficult that no one bothered to. When the last Surface Pro came out I looked into switching, after about an hour of research I decided "Nope, nope, nope that looks too painful for too little benefit".
OTOH, MS definitely needed to do this to hopefully win some people like me over, in order to continue to gain ground on Amazon in Cloud usage, IBM in ML software, and Apple in OS and hardware. I'm also intrigued by their marketplace, if I can use this as an app store to sell my services, I might be interested.
Best of luck to you MS, you have a challenge ahead of you in this space, but you seem to be firing on all cylinders lately!

Checkout BigML.com, it has a ton of visualization
As far as creating a model and deploying it to production, I cannot think of anything simpler and more wonderful to use than bigml. Outputs the decision trees /randomforests (via python api) in actual textual code. Hook that up to a Flask API and you've got your predictive web service.
0xdata.com is another one for more r/python users, can output gradient boosting models to straight up java objects (although that feature is pricey last time I looked into it), which of course is java so it's going to be pretty fast.
Really feeling for everyone out there still using PMML...

Azure has no need to push Windows, they do not make any more money for Windows VMs over Linux.
This is much more about establishing Azure as an ML platform than Windows.

They also have new Tableau competitor for self serve data visualization, PowerBI:
