windows service

Hi /prog/ rammers,

In your experience, what's the best language+framework for writing a windows service in?

The actual thing it will be doing is simple (making an http request every five minutes so as to keep track of the current external IP address of the network) but all the service-related stuff I have never done before. Any tips?

HAHA, your analogy failed hard.  You said "someone who drives", not the car that they drive.  Therefore, the C++ programmer, like an F1 driver, is highly skilled, able to quickly adapt in difficult situations, and can handle lots of pressure.  The Python programmer is a fat, old middle-class worker who is going nowhere in life.
