Windows 7 or Windows Vista in the cloud

Question

Hi I am looking for a cloud-based solution that offers Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP to be served in the cloud using VNC or a similar remote desktop. Does such an offering exist?

Is there a licensing solution from Microsoft?

Your search terms for this should be something like "Virtualized Desktop Cloud Provider" or "Desktop as a service" (DaaS)

Here are a few:

I assumed you could search for providers offering those products as a service and you didn't ask for a Microsoft-only solution. – Jul 28 '10 at 19:14

Citrix is a common solution, but it runs on Windows Server, not Windows Client.
