BigData - Hadoop

Question

I'm .Net developer with 1.6 years of experience. To enhance my career I'm looking to go with Hadoop. But recently I heared that Microsoft has released HDInsight which is similar kind of Hadoop. So please advice me...

HDInsight does not replace Hadoop. It is a service that sits in cloud (Windows Azure) and provides connectivity support to connect with your Haddoop data and access it from anywhere using standard Microsoft technologies such as ODBC.
