I really do not have a very strong case. However, I would like to have
emacs run as a service on M$. I can open frames and edit files, open
frame to read mails and close it when done. Having emacs run as a
service has unlimited uses. I could use it to run some remote commands
(once I have it running on remote machines).
 If you have seen STAF (software test automation framework) to
dispatch commands to remote machines, I would use emacs instead. It
can become a highly customizable control center!
