Scott clearly explains BizTalk vs. WWF

By now you've probably heard of Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF, what a 'nuther great Microsquishy acronym) which is the workflow engine to be embedded in the next version of SharePoint and the Office servers (which also means it'll be in Navision, CRM, Project Server, Team Server, SBS, SPS, and everything else that uses WSS under the covers). Follow me so far?

Anyways, I keep hearing from people a lot of confusion over BizTalk vs. WWF so I thought I would point you to Scott Woodgates blog on the subject as it clearly spells it out the best explaination about this (in case you need to explain it those that are still trying to get it).

In a nutshell:

• Workflow within applications = Windows Workflow Foundation
• Workflow across applications = BizTalk Server

Nice. Check out his entire blog entry here on the subject if you need more detail. Not directly SharePoint related, but just in case you need a quick elevator speech on the subject. Enjoy (and thanks to Scott for doing this as it much needed in many communities).
