EC2 Windows

[Thom Shannon]

I noticed a couple of you have been playing with the new windows stuff
on ec2, how is it?

It does seem a bit expensive, kind of a last resort I guess.

I havn't used it yet but I've been reading alot of people winging
about the cost and how OS DB's are more cost effective.

But I think you get what you pay for really

The service is fine so far.

You are getting your own machine (essentially) for about 86 dollars a month (not including storage).  How many dedicated hosts can beat that? not many.  How many "virtual dedicated" hosts can beat that?  Not many.  Godaddy for instance are at £64 a month for less of a spec.
