Dana Gardner: Shouldn't the vision of SOA allow us to have it both ways? If you have a culture and mindset in an organization, maybe it's because of your legacy. Maybe it's because of how you operate and the value you've perceived in past IT investments. Thus, you might want to remain with more of a single-vendor or an integrated-stack approach, but there might be other vendors without a legacy to drag along.

It turns out -- even when I use shuffle and I've got my playlists and I've dug into this -- I'm probably only listening to about 20 percent or 30 percent of my music. I don't want it to be like that. So, clearly we can use some better richer tools. Is that right?...

SOA is like an orchestra, a root system, a 30-mile wide fungus, an amoeba, a 1930s Hollywood movie studio and perhaps an independent film built from a loosely coupled team. It's an intellectually wild, yet illuminating, ride ...

Now that media companies are exploring Web distribution models and using new technologies, a great deal is being discussed about who controls what when it comes to content.
