I've used Workspaces [1] for simple browsing and admin because a jump server was needed for access due to latency. It is amazing that some websites actually do not work for a global audience! The cost is approx. $14 a month plus a per minute charge. Based on the specs, and shutting the server down when not working I consider it an ok expense. Some people have effectively used these for gaming [2]. If you use it for business purposes, the service charge is 100% deductible, whereas your hardware is usually deprecated based on fixed rates.<p>[1]: <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/</a>
