We developed a WCF service and we\'re looking to deploy it.

Interesting tidbit-> after reading this thread I came across these words in the MSDN about hosting a WCF service using a Windows Service:
The following are some of the disadvantages of Windows services:
•Deployment: Services must be installed with the .NET Framework Installutil.exe utility or through a custom action in an installer package.
•Limited features: Windows services still have a limited set of out-of-the-box features to support high availability, easy manageability, versioning, and deployment scenarios. Essentially you have to cover these requirements yourself through custom code while, for example, IIS comes with several of these features by default. Windows services do add recoverability and some security features, but you still have to do some work yourself.
