Remy,
A new property could be added, sure. But, see, IntraWeb has been around for 20+ years, I've been personally involved for 10+, and this is the first time a request like this has come to me.
I think it's fair to ask what's the reasoning behind it ("because I'd like to" is also an acceptable reason, although not a good one). What's the need for something that is - for all practical purposes - irrelevant even to system administrators (unless they think that the service description column on the task manager is not enough to identify the service)?
Please also notice:
Service Name is the Registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ and uniquely identifies the service
However, in the Services Console (or Component Services), the column "Name" is actually the "Display Name" of the service. The Service Name column is not visible on that list by default. The "Description" column contains the long description of what that service does.
To make things a little worse, if you open the Windows Task Manager, on the "Services" tab, there is a column Name. One would expect it to contain the Display Name - the same as the services console - but it actually contains the Service Name. Similarly, one would expect that the column Description would contain the long service description, but no, it contains the Display Name. Well done, Microsoft!
