BizTalk Services - Internet Service Bus
Ok, so we all know by now about the BizTalk vNext - OSLO , The next genereation, but what about BizTalk Services ?

Well it seems that the BizTalk team are moving in full speed, and have thier own BizTalk Labs
Some of the technologies that are currently available at BizTalk Labs include:
- Identity Services are hosted services that enable organizations to more easily manage their users and help developers create more secure applications that support user identities from many different organizations.
(users can authenticate to the BizTalk Services Identity Provider via Windows® CardSpace)
- Connectivity Services are hosted services that make application messaging between organizations easier.
- The BizTalk Labs SDK provides extensions to the .NET Framework to make it easier for developers to use Web standards such as HTTP and RSS and to build composite applications.
Or as they say "technologies here at BizTalk Labs as pieces of an Internet Service Bus - a fabric that interconnects distributed applications."
Now, we can see that "Michelle (ma belle)" - Beatles (Michele Leroux Bustamante (AKA "Das Blonde") ) definition of When Big SOA met Little SOA is just about that: Internet Service Bus (ISB) is the Big SOA , while Microsoft ESB Guidance CTP3 ( Enterpirse Service Bus )is the Little SOA.
