I can confirm Dave's words - 80% of customers I talked to for last 4 months - required SOA at different levels but, mostly, at the enterprise one. Very few were interested in low-level integration projects.

One could argue that there are discretionary projects being put on hold due to budgeting restrictions, but that has little to do with whether they are SOA.

Another way of looking at it is that it's alive and well in 2009. I think as an all-singing all-dancing transcendental architecture it's certainly going to experience a significant impact as IT begins to realize it's new year's resolution to become more "fit". But it remains the case that the need to organize and abstract capability for combinatoric reuse and to overcome heterogeneous legacy still remains a large and challenging sore spot to agility in the enterprise. Whatever the efforts to address this challenge are called, the winners of that game will do better than the losers.
