Yesterday, IBM called a big news conference around their new SOA offerings, featuring IBM Senior Vice President and Software Group Executive Steve Mills. Read the release here.

However, there are differing perspectives emerging on what it was all about. Bruce Silver said that while the explanations of the offerings were still sketchy, one message was clear.

"This was mostly shock and awe: Surrender Earthlings, our technology is simply too vast and powerful…"

OnStrategies.com's Tony Baer, reached on the road at Sandhill Software's 2006 conference, said 'I thought that IBM's announcement was a bit anticlimatic, that it was mostly a case of them saying, "let's make some sense of what we've done lately" as opposed to "here's a dramatic new direction" or "here's SOA's new killer app for the enterprise."'

I'll post more commentary on the announcement as I find it.
