To answer the OP's question, there is unlikely to be a free service that allows you to run Windows Apps in the Cloud, because they would have to pay Microsoft for the Windows licencing fees. There are many companies that will rent/sell you a Windows virtual machine, to which you could connect via Remote Desktop from Linux (tsclient/rdesktop will do it) and you could install your applications there - but checking my own employer's prices, it looks like that would cost you about $60 per month - mostly because they don't offer Windows 7 or XP - only Server 2008. Of course you could reduce that cost by not running it permanently (as they are usually billed hourly for the time the machine is running), but it's still going to cost money. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
