Hello,
Recently Linode has ported under KVM platform. Can anyone help me to setup Windows OS in Linode?
Thanks in advance.

I would also love to know if this is possible. My last server that isn't on linode is because it runs a windows only app.

Please please please!

Hello Marques,
If possible please provide me some details on how to install Microsoft OS in Linode.
Thanks.

What specific problems are you having following the instructions posted above?

Actually I need to try the instruction first. After trying I'll let you know where I'm facing difficulties. Anyway, thanks for helping me.

This is LINode after all, so I doubt you'll get "official" instructions anytime soon.

yeah, I'm waiting for that day when official instructions will be published by Linode.

You'll be waiting a long long time, perhaps forever. If you need something running Windows and aren't willing to run it unsupported, you will want to find a host that specializes in or at the very least supports Windows.

If public demands, Linode must do something for it.

Public can demand all they want. If Linode doesn't want to do it they don't have to.

I'd recommend censoring this guy's spam domains out of your quote.

Separate issue you guys need to think about is Windows licensing. It gets pretty hairy when it comes to hosts you not control, but in any case, you can't expect Linode to buy them... you need to keep track of those yourself.

I think licensing issues should be maintained by end user, not Linode
