C# is somewhat Perlish. (Well, I say that for any language that has a foreach loop.)

I've written Windows Services in C# before and it's rather straightforward. However, if you plan to write an installer for .NET Windows Services, that's another story. You have to reverse engineer working MSI's with Orca to see what the Visual Studio setup project is doing if you are building your project outside of Visual Studio. (Undocumented stuff, of course.)

Also there's a bug in v1.1 of .NET which causes deadlock when loading a DLL with .NET and native code. One too many entry points for the load libary call and your program just locks up. Nice... How the hell did they decide to ship .NET with that bug?
