I wonder if using VirtualBox on a GNU/Linux machine would be an option:
Pros:
+ Can run more than once build process simultaniously,
+ more flexible with the needed windows variant.
+ More separation from the internet, possibly less maintenance effort in
keeping stuff secure
+ Server rent less expensive, so we get more computing power for less
Cons:
- A speed cost of running VirtualServer
- A little less native, though this should not matter for the builds.
- We need to buy windows licenses separately and manage them if we
build in parallel
