What happened to "Windows Service" application wizard in Whidbey?

I noticed that the Whidbey 2.0 beta (which, btw, is astonishingly good! I cry when I have to go back and develop stuff for the Mac) no longer has the "Windows Service" application generation wizard.

Is it simply missing Or is Microsoft now discouraging the use of .NET applications as Windows services

    Merged thread, similar question.

    The C# Express SKU does not contain the Windows Service template.  However, the Pro+ editions of the product do contain that template.  It should appear under the Windows node in the new project dialog.

    Hope that helps!

    Robert, Windows Service project should be one of the choices available if you select the Windows node under C# in the New Project dialog.
