Nope, they are fairly generic terms that apply to Windows as well as
Unix and OSX. "Service" essentially means software that runs in the
background and is accessible to users on the computer or elsewhere on
the network, even if no one is logged on to the computer running the
service. 

UNC is Universal Naming Convention (or University of North Carolina...),
and is a way of referring to the shared space on a network drive as
\\servername\sharename, where "servername" is the network name for the
computer and "sharename" is the shorthand for the folder or group of
folders that are shared on the network.
