Anyone got experience with these?

The particular app I am trying to use apparently does not work on AWS Workspaces - perhaps due to their custom build of server 2016 that looks like W10 (or so I'm told). Is this a thing? Has anyone else had issues?

I thought you could specify the OS build and the Office build if that mattered? I've hired a machine and chose W7 / Office 2010 a year or so back.

You can only choose Amazon Linux or W10, which apparently isn't really W10

That seems to have changed then.....

Seems to still support W7

Thinking about it as W7 is now out of MS support, it would make sense for them to discontinue it. I was using one not that long ago, 1-2 years to get round problems with an App and W10 users.
