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.

Thanks. But how is this different from a console app?
A console app just runs from the command line - ala grep, vi. awk,
etc. It still expects to be interacted with, it simply doesn't have
a GUI.
