Amazon has announced that customers taking advantage of the free usage tier of their Amazon Web Services can now run their Windows Server applications in their AWS cloud.

Amazon Web Services is designed to make cloud computing easier for a wide variety of businesses – whether large, small, or the U.S. Treasury Department (yes, really). The addition of the ability to run Windows Server applications represents a significant expansion of the program for users who want to have more flexibility in the kinds of applications and operating systems they run on their AWS accounts.
