IHMO AWS Windows instances may not be ready for prime time. This issue seems not to affect Linux based instances. There are other cloud providers like the YC favorite, SliceHost - I have no direct experience with them but may soon try them out.

Slicehost is not really a "cloud provider". You buy a VPS and use it "forever".

  Well, it's both. Rackspace Cloud Servers (basically, Slicehost post-acquisition) has an EC2-like api to spin up and down servers on demand, billed by the hour.
