A step in the right direction
The instance launches simply and with little fuss; Up to that point it is a fairly turn key solution;
The User guide is ridiculously short, which is the first clue, because following it gets you a session with no audio. Hardly a good thing for a game console!
I spent a few hours searching the web for the config that would allow audio, nothing worked, so I deleted it.
IF you are looking to market this toy, make sure it works completely and consistently. Bugs happen, but this baby never got off the ground.
I will say the video and keyboard/mouse interactivity were awesome, but without sound there it no point.

A great idea, but still a beta...
The lack of documentation is really annoying ! But i managed to launch notepad.exe. Next step Steam games :-)

I couldn't make it work
I made step by step the guide plus the explanations in the support forum. But I only receive timeout in browser. I could login in remote desktop but the streamming never worked. I want to try later another image to see if it is more polished.
Also this kind of instance takes ages in boot and stop. You cannot use it for ondemand work it only makes sense in a heavy usage scenario
