SOA is Dead; Long Live Services

It's been all over the technical news for the last few days and it won't fail to stir up quite a few heated discussions: it's of course Anne Thomas Manes' article SOA is Dead; Long Live Services [1].

It is indeed very interesting. But as Stefan Tilkov comments on Infoq [2]:

In all fairness, Anne seems to object to the word SOA, not necessarily the concept, because it seems to have lost its meaning for many people.
