desktop (and yes it's CORBA based).

Please post the URI to a freely viewable version of that Gartner study, if
you know of one.  And if that's not available, is there some other
definitive work
on SOA you could point to, instead of just repeating that there's lots of
stuff
written about it?

Thank you,
