Following are the few key points which describes the advantages of WCF over Web service

1 WCF has support for multiple protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, PIPE, MSMQ etc.)
2 WCF can be hosted outside if IIS ie: can be hosted in managed windows applications, a windows service, and WAS (Windows Process Activation Service)
3 WCF provides customization such as event hooks into service start / end / init / custom global error Handling etc.
