Hello,
Are there any other companies that provides services like Amazon EC2 and are as cheap as Amazon (0.03$ for micro instance)? I need provider that let me Launch, terminate, reboot my instances etc. I am running ~30 instances daily for 1 hour only, so I would really appreciate any help
oh, and one more thing - they have to be Windows instances

You are subject to lock in. hard to move from EC2 to another provider.

Why you think it is hard to move?
I know they bring an outstanding service but it is quite expensive.

How much are you paying currently?
A friend of mine is paying almost $2000 per month at Amazon and also would like to move off. I am helping him with that...

Also, Linode doesn't do Windows (I think)

Linode is entirely PV based if I remember right They don't have 'true' HA, but they do have floating IP addresses so you can move them between boxes if you have DRDB or whatever doing data syncing.
