    Talking virtual desktop in the cloud?

    Hi,
    I need a particular thing: a service, similar to this http://www.macincloud.com
    but possibly for Windows, where in practice I have a remote computer to which I can login from time to time to do stuff, but paying only for the time I use (I would probably use it a few hours a month only).
    Does anything like this exist ? it should be very simple, without too much configuration/options. Something where I can just connect with remote desktop and work (that's why I made the example of mac in the cloud).

    Thanks!

    I found this: http://www.cloudmyoffice.com/

    It also says this on their site: "With virtual cloud desktops from Cloud My Office you only pay for the resources and licenses that you need."

    You could rent a Windows VPS server and connect to it using Remote Desktop. You would have a monthly fee, however, because hour based is not possible due to licensing.
    The Remote Desktop app can be bought from the App Store.

    Azure does charge you on hourly based ratio: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pri...tual-machines/.

    Windows Azure and Amazon EC2 both provide what you are looking for. Just be sure you understand how to turn the machines off when not in use so billing does not accrue. You will incur charges for any storage you have due to that being used whether or not your machine is in a running state.
