It will be very nice to be able to do CI/compilation on extremely cheap and fast (to spin up) linux slaves as opposed to requiring an expensive (license, hardware) and slow (miserably slow ec2 boots) Windows servers.

Good Lord, yes. It takes forever for my TeamCity build agent AMIs to spin up and actually connect to the TeamCity server. It would be awesome to replace that bulky Windows build agent with a Linux one.

I gave up on activating windows agents programatically, I keep one powerful windows build server running, it spins down at night after regression testing, then back on during the day when employees come into the office. The pocketbook definitely feels it, though.
