Is MSMQ obsolete?

I've just been chatting with a Microsoft MVP, and he told me that MSMQ is obsolete. Is this true? What's the infrastructure for SOA then???

I don't think it's obsolete at all. Do a google search for MSMQ and WCF - you'll get lots of results.

Here is a good article:

Well, they released a new version (4.0) with Vista, and it's an explicitly available channel in WCF, out of the box, so I'd say no.

I've built new services based on it in the last six months, and there's no official MS documentation I'm aware of that says it's going away.

If you need reliable messaging, there aren't many good options. If you're already deep in database land, Service Broker may make sense, but otherwise... MSMQ
