This is a great news, thanks for your efforts on this!
However, it's really sad to have to pay the Microsoft toll over FreeBSD (afaik Windows EC2 Instances are a bit more expensive because the cost of the OS licence is factored into the hourly cost).
I hope Amazon will do something about this, like providing HVM-based Unix instances.
