Can you give an example of when it would be appropriate to use a web service as opposed to a non-serviced .NET component?

If you are developing an intranet app and you want to display the current stock price of your company, its best to consume a webservice the provide that service. IOW, when you want to get 'outside' data throuh a corporate firewall

If, say, you want to display latest news from HR deartment in your portal, better to have a .NET DLL that connect to corporate HR Database and get the info.
