Question is,

The Shared Service Provider is a SP 2007 feature. In 2010 it was replaced/renamed with service applications.

The MSDN article What's New: Service Application Framework states:

The Service Application Framework replaces the Shared Services Provider in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

The main benefit of the Service Application Framework over the Shared Service Provider is the ability to manage each application individually, allowing for the service application to be used by a single farm or multiple farms as well as making it easier to scale the service application based on use.

Also, the main reason why it's now called Service Applications is because Sharepoint 2010 was built with .NET 3.5 which uses WCF Service Applications. – Fox Feb 1 at 12:46
