I'm posting the response I put on the eBizQ forum here as well. However, for it to make sense you need to understand that someone replied to Michael's posting discussing performance of Web applications as an indication of issues with SOA.
------- My response --------- I take issue with your semantics regarding T-SOA and B-SOA. These distinctions do nothing but further cloudy the already unclear understanding of SOA, as evidenced by the response by Mr. Weiss regarding performance on Web forms. A system is a system and an application is an application. We have semantics that represents these entities just fine. If a system or an application follows a design pattern that follows an SOA strategy, it doesn't make them something new. They're still just a system or an application.
