Unfortunately it is HVM only, or you have to run it on Windows instances, which means a portion of that money goes to Microsoft.

What I mean by first class is that it will run on every instance type, including a micro, so I can make a FreeBSD shellhost for $8/mo, for example.

FWIW, in us-east-1, t1.micro is $0.02/hour for both UNIX and Windows. (Yay rounding errors!)
