BO vs. WS

Please excuse the pathetic thread title.
Is the question solved whether Business Objects are obsolete as we see the dawn of the Web Service area? Is the service counter now the new object as the counter bundles services and data like the BO bundles methods and data.

Hi,
Business Objects are used at SAP in two contexts;
1. Business Objects, the BI Platform company we purchased.
2. Program model objects that encapsulates "SAP data and business processes while hiding the structure and implementation details of the underlying data"

Business Objects are used extensively in SAP Enterprise Services (which are based on WS standards). There is lot of good info on help.sap.com.
So to answer your question, Business Objects compliment WS and do not replace them (in the case of no. 2).
I hope this helps,
Mike.
