Is SOA and SaaS one and the same thing?

Hi,
Are Service Oriented Architecture and Software as a Service two sides of a same coin?
I have heard that both are essential to webify your application so just wondered if they are same.

With regards,

Heya, Mandar.

It looks like SOA is only loosely defined, according to the Wikipedia. But it appears to be that SOA is a way of planning software around tasks or services rather than objects or files.

On the other hand, Software as a service is a delivery model whereby vendors provide software to their Users remotely. In other words, instead of purchasing a CD in a box or an online download, SaaS software is hosted on a remote server, and Users send requests to the server to interact with the software.
