“Remember back to the early days of OO? Remember how we used to be able to articulate what OO was regardless of any development tool/language/platform/system??? THAT is what we should be aiming towards when we talk about SO and Services, not some utopian and yet flawed proprietary marketing spin-fest aimed purely to sell more bits to unsuspecting customers in a desparate attempt to retain/regain market share.
SO has as much to do with [insert technology of choice here] as OO had to do with C++, Smalltalk, Delpi or Eiffel.The notions of SO are, if properly defined, pure, clean, abstract and generally applicable to any given distributed systems platform.”
