Ah, I see the position for that sentence was choosen badly.
IMO (your) arguments to differentiate between daemon and service aren't
that valid. A Hello World doesn't make sense for both. If an an app has
a gui and needs it, the app is split up in front and back end, the back
end being daemon or service. (Hamster comes to my mind a mail/nntp prog)

You can pass arguments to your service via a registry entry. Didn't test
it myself, but redirecting stdout may work that way.
