in relation to navigation & internet services

There's a gray area between products and services. It's not always clear cut. Your Internet *Service* Provider let's you access the internet for a fee and thus provides you with a service. Hence, the name "service provider". But in order to access the internet, your ISP has to let you use their physical equipment (telephone or cable lines, satellite links, modem, servers, etc.) So the actual internet connection relies on products to provide the service. To put it another way, would you be able to get the service without the necessary products?

There are loads of definitions for it but these are the most obvious:
A service provided the product you are looking for!
Eg. Yahoo is the service that provides the product!
A service is usually internet based.
A product is a peice of software!
If you are looking on a website! Then look around the website for a suitable answer to the above!! Hope I helped!

You have to have a Service Provider in order to sell a Product. That is what the whole "Home Based Businesses" are cashing in on now. That is what you have to be real careful about. First you get hit in your mail from these "automatic" building websites, they will keep sending you e-mails, all to get you to join their company,which sells "products" - they will call you also - when you and if you fill out a form to receive information. It isn't until after you send that form, that they tell you that 5-home based businesses will contact you. Then all the e-mails start. If you buy in to one of them, you pay for the "service" and that is who will build you web page, and start sending e-mails which build one on top of the other. So therefore your question:- and the most important difference is that you Don't need a "service provider" to build and operate a website! Anyone reading this answer, please remember what I have said and be very careful what you participate in through your mail!

service is when you pay for something that you want that isn't a physical object ie. internet access, mow the lawn to a massage...
product is when you pay for something that is a physical object like a car, a cd, etc.....
in relation to your question.....
you pay a internet service providers product ie. talk talk broadband and in doing so you get there service as opposed to the service of other providers.

A service is when something is done for you, e.g - a nursey looks after your children or a taxi driver gives you a ride - they are offering a service. A product is an object that you can touch and feel, e.g a T.V. or a book.

It depends on the OS when it comes to computing. Windows and UNIX based OS look at services very differently.
But basically they are add-ons for the OS to preform certain task
