This comment has got me concerned because I want to get the Standard Edition for MFC and ATL support, but I need to write a service (Pro Edition is too expensive). What's interesting is that I can write the service with the free Express Edition and it works fine, so I'd be surprised if the Standard Edition had LESS functionality. Just want to be sure before I shell out the $$$. Thanks.

You can write Windows Services with the Standard Edition. However, there is no wizard available for native C++ or C++/CLI. The comments about not being able to write Window Services is directed toward C++/CLI in the standard version of VS.NET since there is a Windows Service wizard in the Professional version.
