Even if you remember nothing else about ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) from my earlier rant, this should be sufficient:
ESB != Expensive Shrinkwrapped BrokerESB = Endpoints (SOAP & BPEL)
As my old friend Jim Webber likes to say, the SOAP message _is_ the Bus. It's a piece of Zen-like wisdom, and it takes a while to get one's head around it, but once you "get" it, you'll never fall for vendorspeak again. I am so over centralised brokers calling themselves ESBs.

I agree with you; and I usually tell people to deploy BEA's ESB in this way. (Which usually means they just buy an XML appliance as their central broker, sigh)...
