From my understanding NServiceBus is more targeted at (and optimized for) event driven architecture. WCF is more of a generic communications abstraction. While you can do pub/sub with it, it’s optimized for point to point at least that’s the common view. With nServiceBus you can have a distributed mesh of nodes and setup some very interesting message routing very easily. You can do the same with WCF…but it’s not as easy.
Besides, I think the goal was more to learn the new framework as opposed to compare/contrast between the two.
Sacha,
Just read through the full article! Great job as always! Josh, this is what I mentioned when we talked about keeping clients in sync with changes to the model. There would be a central server (instead of peer to peer as Sacha used) that all the clients would Subscribe to. All operations would go through the central server that would then notify all clients of the change. As I mentioned, nServiceBus makes it pretty easy to load balance the servers as well (so you can scale out as client needs grow). As I recall, you needed a solution that worked with Silverlight. So you’d have to use the HttpPollingDuplexBinding against an nSB façade.

Good job mate. I'll vote once I've finished digesting it all - there's a heck of a lot in it.
Yes, me too. Looks awesome.
