Amazon EC2 windows VPS

Has anyone used or evaluated Amazon EC2 windows VPS for using with trading?
What is the experience compared to other VPS services?

I basically need 2 GB of memory, 1 CPU, and focus on a fast GUI experience towards this VPS from my European local PC.

I am evaluating this vs commericalservicenetworks.com and speedytradingservices.com
 
just21: You mentioned in an earlier post that IB has their own VPS that you can purchase from them, and that you need to contact the right person. I sent them a ticket about this, but they said they dont have this service. Care to expand yoru knowledge on this topic?
 
The main difference is Amazon is in VA, about 20-25ms to my broker in NY, and commericalnetworkservices is in NY, less than 1ms to my broker's servers. Both are super reliable, I am very satisfied now with CNS, the price is good for a NY location and I have not had an single outage or reliability issue in 2 years.
