The latest Reg Reader study on SOA is closing today, so if you haven't had your say yet, now's your last chance.

One of the questions is:

How would you sum up the nature of SOA?
a) A radical new approach
b) An evolution of existing ideas and practices
c) A useful reorganisation of existing ideas
d) Largely just vendor hype

We know a lot of you have an opinion on stuff like that and the whole thing should take less than 10 minutes to complete, so click here (http://forms.theregister.co.uk/studies/q200605) and tell us what you reckon.
