Single user applications are not typically good candidaes for a web service.

Web Services provide information on demand across the internet.  As most
single user applications do not provide communication services over the
internet a web service is not relevent.

A web service is relevent when you want to supply information to remote
computers across the internet on demand from the remote users.   For
example, if you wanted to sell something, you could make your price catalog
available, or you might even provide tools to place an order (no user
interface).  The remote user would be responsible for interpreting the XML
data your web service supplies and using the data in sime meaningful way.
