Seems highly technical for novices though. But then again I think that is not your target audience. For me I already use a Windows Home Server to do nightly image backups of all of my computers, which means it is on 24 x 7 x 365. One of the bonus features of the WHS is that it has IIS running and is based on Server 2003 which is stable in the windows platform. So what does this get me? I can log into my WHS and from there remote desktop into any of my PC's. Now remote desktop to your home PC is nothing new, but if you have multiple PCs then you have to do some crazy registry hacks to allow connections on different ports. With the WHS you can connect to any of them. Second bonus, the connection to my home server is via SSL which is provided free when you purchase a WHS. They just give you a wild card SSL for *.homeserver.com This is my killer solution and many times I am logged onto two or three computers at my home simultaneously. Unless the coffee shop folks come to my house to attack that network, I am all good. Very nice solution with zero home-based infrastructure. Seems highly technical for novices though.

I know you're the EC2 man... I wish I spent more time working in an environment were I could use this more. Chandler, wow, great write up.
