Subject: console v. service app
What is the difference between a console app and a service app, other
than the support for Windows in service apps?
A service is an application that can run even if there aren't users logged
in, and that usually don't show an user interface. If you are familiar with
the Unix/Linux terminology, a service is a daemon.
A service is a n application that runs in background and replies to clients
which connect to it through TCP/IP protocol. It doesn't require an user to
run/stop it, even if it's possible (for an user with admin privileges) to
stop/reset it at anytime.
