I wonder if I can convert my old dusty Win XP Parallels image and VM-import it into EC2... That would be pretty cool!



We support specific versions of Windows 2008 SP2 at present, with plans to add other versions and other OS's over time, with a focus on server OSs (as opposed to desktop).


This is an amazing change that hugely reduces the cost of transitioning to AWS. We're deploying VMs on Xen at our university and have talked about AWS but there's a high 'coefficient of static friction'. This could change that whole discussion. Well played.


Does that answer my question? IIRC Windows Server 2003 was quite similar in HW reqs to XP, so should 2008 support it?
