  We've blocked end users from installing from their own ISOs.

  So what can people do with your VPS then? By the time you blocked the user from installing ISOs they pretty much don't have a VPS anymore. Well, at least not any VPS running Linux or really any kind Unix-like OS. If all that's available is Windows it might be possible but even then i wouldn't be that sure.

  We have templates for every major Linux/Unix distro. If they need something else, we're happy to mount an ISO from our side. Been going fine for over a decade now.

  Well, if you offer Linux people can install any ISO known to man. Sure, a lot will not know how but it's still far from blocked. If you want to effectively control what people install offering Linux is a no-go and it's likely the same for most other Unix related systems too.

  I mean yeah if you offer a server at all people can sort of do whatever. We just don't endorse it, and if we find out someone is running windows on any of their VMs, they get promptly booted. People can do anything, we just take reasonable precuations. If people want to run Windows, we do have a product line for that anyways. It's just the really sketchy people wanting to "bring their own key" (generally code word for use a crack tool in my experience) who cause issues.

  Well, i don't really disagree let a lone care about Windows, so it doesn't concern me but to be honest (legalities aside) i'd feel kinda weird if my provider approached me along the lines of "Hey, we noticed you are running system X". Not that this is likely to ever happen as i don't run any systems, which stick out like a sore thumb (detecting Windows from network traffic is probably dead easy) but i feel it's kind of similar to an email saying "Hey, there's this fabulous new Barbie movie on your HDD, so you need to go.", which is - even it didn't mean someone felt that's it's worth their time dumping my encryption key from RAM - not really something i'd expect. Unless i'm causing problems i'd want to watch my Barbie movie in peace without people looking over my shoulder

  We don't look at anyone's stuff.

  Then you probably won't notice if people are running Windows though. Outside of the specialists happily sending support tickets for clearly disallowed use cases of course.

  That's what I meant yeah, we have some people ticketing support like "hey how do I set up X on windows?"

  I see. It's kinda hard to blame you then. Losing this type of guys is pretty much a wise business move even beyond EULA enforcement as they'll just tie up a disproportionate amount of support resources and likely leave bad reviews for what is really their own lack of ability.
