Windows Workflow Foundation -- now it's official

Perhaps the worst-kept secret I’ve ever seen from Microsoft J is now official:

The official site is:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/building/workflow/default.aspx

There are white papers, webcasts, virtual lab and more avail from that site. Beta 1 is available RIGHT NOW.

I saw this back in alpha stage, and it *ROCKED*. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turned out, this is IMO very significant technology.

So many people will be wondering “does this replace BizTalk Orchestration?”. Answer: not a chance. But it is VERY cool. I'll be writing something about it later.
