EC2 to Support Microsoft Windows Server and SQL Server this Fall

Currently EC2 only supports Unix based operating systems, but coming this fall you’ll be able to run Windows Servers. This may not sound like much, but sometimes you just need it and it will be nice to be able to have it. We needed Windows as part of our infrastructure for one project and we actually we had to lease a windows box from another host and send messages between them to get things done… not pretty. This should solve that problem.

This is also great news for you ASP.NET developers. Welcome to the cloud!
