Windows instances do not have remote desktop turned on by default.  You must first login to the Windows server via the virtual console found in the ReliaCloud portal and turn on remote desktop.  Once remote desktop is enabled, make sure a port forwarding rule has been created so the Windows server is accessible via a public IP address.  Remote desktop services listen on TCP port 3389 by default.
