ESB is NOT a product

The most common mistake with an Enterprise Service Bus is thinking it is a product. This, of cource, is not true. ESB is a pattern witch is a combination of capabilities. Some vendors do sell a product that has all the capabilities implemented. Like with an SOA... you cannot buy an ESB, you have to think ESB.
Also see the great presentation The Role of the Enterprise Service Bus by Mark Richards.
