of Red Hat's PaaS offering.
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.

Ok, does someone know how can I mount a server for my propouse
in order to don't pay to a company and manage it myself?
Otherwhise I'll have to see how to pay for the service, I'm really
interested in that.
