WCF hosting in Web App vs Windows Service

bjorandb asked:

Hello,

I've been search and reading on this topic for a few days now but can't really find a simple answer to my question. Which of course means there probably isn't one, but hey, here's to hoping!

I would just like to know the advantages/disadvantages and differences of hosting a WCF service in an Asp.Net Web Application or a Windows Service

In my solution I have both a windows service and a Web App, and I'm just trying to get them to talk to eachother.
