I'm currently doing analysis and design for a new message bus architecture in my company. I have tried MSMQ to do something like this in the past and it works well and was thinking of doing the same thing again for this project but using WCF as the API instead of using the System.Messaging API. Has anyone had experience with MSMQ in WCF? Is it easier to use then the System.Messaging API? What would be some benefits of using WCF over System.Messaging or vice versa?

IMHO, with so many good, flexible and proven bus architectures to choose from (NServiceBus, Mass Transit, Rhino Service Bus), implementing your own would be a big NIH. It's not a trivial task.

Udi describes it very well in this message.
