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.
