Web Services vs .NET Remoting over HTTP with SOAP

What are the differences between using web services and using .NET
remoting with http transport and soap encoding ?

When dealing with .net to .net communications, particular when the
same company is responsible for both sides of the app (client and
server), what are advantages/disadvantages of each?

Thanks,

Sam

Web services are meant to be platform-neutral. That means least common
denominator.

With .NET remoting, you can use .NET-specific features like properties,
indexers, and even non-default constructors.
