The WCF programming model supports several different programming paradigms including ASP.NET web services, .NET framework remoting and Enterprise Services.

WCF provides integration and interoperability with existing .NET framework distributed systems technologies such as MSMQ, COM+, ASP.NET web services and WSE.

WCF built applications interoperate well with non-WCF applications.

Interoperability with non-SOAP based XML formats using only HTTP as the transport and application protocol.
