Actually, MS just changed the way they "charge" for the MSDN accounts, they now work with credits. Currently my account has 115 euro/month credit and - as far as I can tell, this is a recent change - running a Medium VM (2 x 1.6GHz CPU, 3.5GB RAM) for a month will just fit that credit.
A Medium VM takes just about 11 hours to run the full suite of Mustella tests (main, AIR and mobile), so anything 'smaller' will probably not be practical. I'm putting the last touches on the Mustella jobs (one for each part of the suite). I don't think we need to spend time on building a "test-run farm" for Mustella. The current set up runs all tests twice a day. For the current level of development going on on the SDK that is more than plenty. Also, lots of tests are failing, we better spend our resources making all tests pass. Although... it might be cool to have 2 more VMs up and running: one Mustella on the most recent stable Flash Player and AIR and another running the bleeding edge (beta) versions. I'm glad to share what I have, don't get me wrong. Once the three jobs run cleanly, I'll look into a way to share the VM "disk".
