It's also possible to do much (all?) of this using Amazon EC2. It's
cheap, you don't have to buy your own hardware, and you don't have to
have a hot, noisy machine running in your house.

Yes, EC2 has Windows VMs.

At LISA, David Blank-Edelman talked about using EC2 to learn something
that required a bunch of machines and said his bill from Amazon was
fifteen cents.
