Why not? :)

Remember that on Vista/Win7 then services are running in their own session. When starting the UI application then it must be running in the user-session. Have feeling that it is better that it is user that starts the UI application (Maybe as a process started at user-login). The UI can then contact the service through whatever communication form you like. Namedpipes might be a good way.
