Answer / sivakumar
A process is any piece of software that is running on a
computer. For example, your anti-virus software runs in the
background as a process, which was automatically started
when the computer booted. Some processes start when your
computer boots, others are started manually when needed.
Some processes are services that publish methods to access
them, so other programs can call them as needed. Printing
services would be an example of a service type of process,
where your email program can just call the print services
process to say it wants to print, and the service does the
actual work.

Answer / ramskops
A service is something that is defined in the language of a
customer, and that they would be willing to pay for.
A process is something that supports the development of a
service.
For example, I buy Home Internet connectivity as a service
from an ISP.
In providing this service, the ISP provides processes to
support this service, monitoring, problem resolution,
installation, etc

services are provide all the resources to run a process.
services are robust.they are self explanatory.
