My original comment was: "In other words, a free floating set of new biz concepts (B-SOA) without some new concepts for realizing them (T-SOA) is just BS. And some new concepts for realization (T-SOA) without new guiding biz concepts is just a different kind of BS." Yet you strongly disagreed with it in a follow up email. Your quoted comments from your latest email now seem to be in agreement with my original comment. -- Nick
