I cannot wait! Now I don't have to host all my stuff in house anymore. I can get quality service as I need it with products I've grown to trust. Whoohoo!We are excited to let you know that Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (Amazon EC2) will offer you the ability to run Microsoft
Windows Server or Microsoft SQL Server starting later this
Fall. Today, you can choose from a variety of Unix-based
operating systems, and soon you will be able to configure your
instances to run the Windows Server operating system. In
addition, you will be able to use SQL Server as another option
within Amazon EC2 for running relational databases.
Amazon Services WIN!!!!

Who wins again?
Pricing
Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate your monthly bill using AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.
Instances
Standard Instances
Instances of this family are well suited for most applications.
* $0.10 – Small Instance (Default) 1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual core with 1 EC2 Compute Unit), 160 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform
* $0.40 – Large Instance 7.5 GB of memory, 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 850 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform
* $0.80 – Extra Large Instance 15 GB of memory, 8 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 1690 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform
High-CPU Instances
Instances of this family have proportionally more CPU resources than memory (RAM) and are well suited for compute-intensive applications.
* $0.20 – High-CPU Medium Instance 1.7 GB of memory, 5 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each), 350 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform
* $0.80 – High-CPU Extra Large Instance 7 GB of memory, 20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each), 1690 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform
Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance type. Partial instance-hours consumed are billed as full hours.
EC2 Compute Unit (ECU) – One EC2 Compute Unit (ECU) provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor. See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for details on available instance configurations and a complete description of an EC2 Compute Unit.
Data Transfer
Internet Data Transfer
* $0.100 per GB – all data transfer in
* $0.170 per GB – first 10 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.130 per GB – next 40 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.110 per GB – next 100 TB / month data transfer out
* $0.100 per GB – data transfer out / month over 150 TB
Data transfer “in” and “out” refers to transfer into and out of Amazon EC2.
Data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3-US or Amazon SimpleDB, is free of charge (i.e., $0.00 per GB), except data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3-Europe, which will be charged at regular rates.
Amazon S3 usage is billed separately from Amazon EC2; charges for each service will be billed at the end of the month.
Availability Zone Data Transfer
* $0.00 per GB – all data transferred between instances in the same Availability Zone using private IP addresses.
Regional Data Transfer
* $0.01 per GB in/out – all data transferred between instances in different Availability Zones in the same region.
Public and Elastic IP Data Transfer
* $0.01 per GB in/out – If you choose to communicate using your Public or Elastic IP address inside of the Amazon EC2 network, you’ll pay Regional Data Transfer rates even if the instances are in the same Availability Zone. For data transfer within the same Availability Zone, you can easily avoid this charge (and get better network performance) by using your private IP whenever possible.
See Availability Zones for tools to describe instance location.
Amazon Elastic Block Store
Amazon EBS Volumes
* $0.10 per GB-month of provisioned storage
* $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests
Amazon EBS Snapshots to Amazon S3 (priced the same as Amazon S3)
* $0.15 per GB-month of data stored
* $0.01 per 1,000 PUT requests (when saving a snapshot)
* $0.01 per 10,000 GET requests (when loading a snapshot)
Elastic IP Addresses
No cost for Elastic IP addresses while in use
* $0.01 per non-attached Elastic IP address per complete hour
* $0.00 per Elastic IP address remap – first 100 remaps / month
* $0.10 per Elastic IP address remap – additional remap / month over 100

Re: Amazon Services WIN!!!!
Now you too can run that IIS.NET server that needs to be rebooted in the middle of the day.
We have one of those at the telecom I work for, and it's always giving us error messages and being slow. We get e-mails that it needs to be rebooted in the middle of the day every couple weeks or so. And it's a mission critical application. Love that Microsoft. Even more of a treat when you get to use it from Microsoft Windows XP. I need a new job, /rant
