@scottalanmiller I only run a small minecraft server with them. What upset was that at some point someone got access to my account and deleted the VM and deployed a windows VM. No idea how they did it, but my son was heartbroken he lost everything he had done. that's the only thing that ever came up for me (although a big one)

@IRJ No, i am in Canada. No worrys, only 1 post certainly looks like i am from their PR team. I like the service though. Cost me about 17$ to get it for my son and he spends hours on it. Had my brother get it up and running. Just keep in mind, there is only ever him logged into it, no mods, sometimes my brother logs in and plays with him. so not much usage at all on it.
I don't use it for any development or heavy use. Don't know if my brother made any changes. He did however have me install it as a CentOS instead of their templated version. I can only assume he loaded a copy of his own.

As to wondows license, a little digging and it turns out they can give you a 90 access when first created, after that you are on your own (saw something on the site where they declare they don't provide a license. Just wondering if it's possible for people to purchase a key from Microsoft to use.

@Jason for windows, maybe it's a license thing? don't know, don't have one. The server seems to be running it just fine for him. Just one 8 year old playing on the server and he hasn't told me he is having issues. Then again, he rarely complains about anything when he is allowed to use the computer. I should ask him if the game is "slow"
