Sounds a lot like COM+ but hosted in IIS 7. Anybody out there using this technology and am I correct comparing the two?

A:
I don't think that WAS offers the sort of distributed transaction management that COM+ and its predecessor, MTS, offered. So WAS is not really a replacement for COM+, though it does offer some of the same features.

Correct. WCF leverages MSDTC to handle the transactions. You have to use them in concert.

A:
As I understand, that's Microsoft's attempt to allow people use other than HTTP bindings and not bother with self-hosting. .NET and it's set of functionality, Remoting in the early versions of Framework and WCF nowadays are replacement for COM/COM+. WAS is just another solution to host WCF services hassle free with extra functionality.
