I've been waiting on an excuse to ditch my faltering Mac. Being able to RDP into an EC2 and build iOS apps or even run an emulator will be huge! Yes I know there were a few other providers before, but hadn't found one that worked in my pipeline.

- jackconsidine 6y agoFair point, but I just really prefer on demand usage. I'm averse to maintaining a mac mini (even having it plugged in and hooked up to the network). To have a server guaranteed to not have issues is the win for me. Also, pay-as-you-go generally works better for my line of business than the upfront investment, even if there is a breakeven point.
