     Having just joined this list, and entered in the middle of this 
discussion, perhaps I'm missing the point?  OO generally refers to the 
interaction of pieces of code running in a single process on a single 
computer, whereas SOA refers to the interaction between different 
processes running on (possibly) different computers.
     Of course, there are plenty of grey areas - "distributed object" 
systems like CORBA or RMI, etc.  As much as anything, I think SOA is a 
state of mind - trying to expose as much of your code as possible to 
remote code written by other people running on other computers.
