It is the preferred method, however two reasons not to spring to mind:
first, I bet you and most others on this list might not want to do that
if forced to develop on a Windows box, and second, you can only run one
instance as a service on a single machine.
Like I said though, I run XP so it's not a problem for me - I'm just
sticking up for the NT4 users it was decided we should support.
