I hate when architects say that they build some services using Web Services and then say that they that's SOA. Web Services != SOA. SOA is a methodology/approach.

try looking up rearden commerce. of course that is a real-world example and if you want the technologies/concepts that would need further research.

Actually the idea is not to say SOA is new but rather: "hey we have matured this technology and use it for your business by buying these terrific building blocks"

The current implementations of SOA using BPEL, XML, SOAP..etc are inmature pathetic jokes. They lack essential primitives such as distributed transactions ("Compensation" does not count), security primitives, common logging and monitoring all non-existant. SOA is far from a new concept. LoD has been around for decades and all well designed distributed systems have implemented these concepts from the very beginning. SOA in its now popular form promises the world and delivers a headache.

It's all done with magic!

Well that certainly explains it very well.. except that it doesn't. How about an example of SOA? While SOA smells slightly like OO from an application layer perspective, I'm not sure how simple it is to extend that methodology to an infrascture level.. I know for one thing - it's tougher than building a house with lego.
