Cloud-based copy of Windows
I found a neat website one time that had a windows cloud-based setup. It was totally free. Just log in and create your own windows desktop in the cloud. It would seem a clear licensing violation but this was a professional deal. Have no idea what it was called. Does anyone know of where such an animal might exist?

It was over 6 mos ago actually and was a great find. Unfortunately, I can't find it in xmarks where I keep all that stuff. That or I am not trying the right keywords.
do you remember the keywords you used to find it???? I wanna look into this to see if it's legal as well.
