Hmm, if remote RDP works nicely due to VOI, then here's an option that can
work for when you need a couple temporarily Windows VMs.
Online cloud providers such as Rackspace Cloud can rent out Windows
Graphical terminals rely much more on the bandwidth and latency from
server to terminal then vice versa.
(terminal to server traffic being just mouse movements, clicks, keyboard
presses and microphone data if you're the NSA)
So for folks used to dealing with asymetric connections, it may be news
to realize that the latency and bandwidth for packets going out of
Skullspace is actually somewhat usable. Especially for folks who don't
want to pay a dime more for any kind of hosting as you've mentioned and
want to be able to use from home for free this kind of for member
service running out of Skullspace.
Going in the other direction, I don't think downspeed and latency at
Skullspace is really a significant advantage for remote RDP compared to
downspeeds we have access to from anywhere else.
If I'm physically at Skullspace, having something like this that's only
a gigabit per second away is a nice bonus, so it becomes more then just
a renting vs owning equation when you're talking about servicing people
at Skullspace.
