why I should use it instead of good old Web Service


One resaon is "In most cases WCF is significantly more performant (25%-50%) faster."

See here:
Silverlight-enabled WCF Services versus ASMX Web Services[^]

However, there is nothing to stop you using Web Services if that's what you're comfortable with. It's what my current client is using at work because they're familiar with it. Nonetheless the knowledge of WCF required for Silverlight is no more complex than what is required for web services. There's also a Visual Studio template for a Silverlight-enabled WCF service that does the plumbing for you.

Eventually you will need to move to WCF regardless of what you choose now as that is MS's preferred technology moving forward.

Btw, the best intro I've seen to WCF is Michele Bustamante's Learning WCF. The first chapter is available online and you can learn a lot just from that chapter.
