Hah, I never thought of hosting it on Azure. I missed my chance to be put into the draw for an Aston Martin though. They make them literally down the road from me so I see lots, but they are sooo nice

The best part is that you can scale up to a more powerful VM with a few mouse clicks. Same is true if you want to downgrade the VM to one with fewer cores and RAM. The only "tough" part was adding VM endpoints for ports 5998, 5999, 9000, and 7000-7100. The current page to set those up doesn't do ranges, so I had to write a quick powershell script to do it because I wasn't going to do that manually.

Ok, so not really tough. Just a, "damnit. Why the hell can't I just put in a hyphen like I can in the Windows Firewall Rule wizard."

You'd have to use a non-MSDN Azure instance to host a non-dev Emu to avoid violating the MSDN terms of use, but for dev and test it's ideal.
