SOA is dead. Services or the architecture? Or the enterprise?

And we're back after a lazzy month of solitude and peace (not to mention the extra kgs!).

Stumbled on this read SOA is dead. Long live the services. Anne writes that as on 1st Jan, SOA is officially dead. SOA is more to do with enterprises. Hmm haven't heard any biggies comment about any their future roadmap either. Well of course enterprises aren't dead. Or are they? lol. Interesting times indeed.

Pause for a second. But don't we still need all the efficiencies and benefits of SOA - reduced costs? Absolutely and I wasn't surprised to see that she's written (as expected) that it's all a farce. Tomaeto tomaaato. Whatever SAO meant would manifest itself in many forms as part of SaaS, mashups etc etc.

The world was getting too small for so many acronyms anyway. Lets get the next baby to the sacrificial table. Green IT anyone?
