With a WCF service you would be able to connect from other platforms as well.

Here's a quote from Wikipedia

Interaction between WCF endpoint and client is done using a SOAP envelope. SOAP envelopes are in simple XML form that makes WCF platform independent.

Here is a white paper for the WCF. It really helps. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ee958158.aspx

Any programming language capable of sending HTTP requests is capable of using WCF REST.

Any programming language capable of sending POX requests is capable of using WCF webHttpBinding.

Any programming language capable of consuming web services is capable of using WCF basicHttpBinding.

Any programming language capable of compatible with WS-* is capable of using WCF wsHttpBinding.

That depends on the configured bindings. The Basic HTTP binding behaves just like an ASMX Web Service.

With the other binding types your mileage may vary.

WCF works the same way.. You expose the WSDL and you are as good as your WebService.. Offcourse there are more features in WCF and you would need to learn some of the new stuff to get it working..
