Hello,

The protocol will matter. Have you ever thought that Win NT and
ReactOS services would have to communicate with each other? Say
you have a ReactOS machine and you want to start service on
Windows 2000 machine. ReactOS client part have to connect to W2K
machine and W2K server part have to understand what client is
asking and ros have to understand W2K replies.

About working on with same thing as a group of programmers. This
would be easy if you first design interfaces. Pipe has two ends
and it clearly has interface on both ends. If they are first
designed, both ends may write their code separately and modules
that use the pipe ends could be programmed as well.
