Can someone link me to info about zync and ec2? I might be able to make good use of them.

I'll have to keep an eye open for your next batch o sales then if you're having one this year Tim. It makes ROI much easier when the I is smaller :)

IMHO they'll all have to figure out a way of allowing it for $$$, or just lose the business. Bye-bye. I want to buy software by the hour at most; I'd prefer by the minute. I'll use Zync to get Maya/Vray/Arnold/MR and Nuke licenses. There are two other points to this - provisioning remote contractors with the exact installation needed, scripts, fonts, plug-ins, whatever, and audit trail and actualization - eventually being able to move clients to time and materials billing.

One thing I like about the new Mac Pro - the size. Older Mac Pros I had to find someone local to buy them, and iMacs are a bitch to ship. Mac Mini's are the best - just drop them into a Priority Mail flat rate box and they're gone. Too bad they don't have a better graphics board. I try to sell all machines at 2 years regardless, and I'll sell extra machines after a big show is over. Looking forward to not having to do that in the future.

as well as - read your EULA - as of C4D R15 they explicitly ban using cloud rendering as breaking their EULA - others may be putting these clause's in as well...   EC2 is a third party cloud explicitly stated as a no-go.
