WF and BizTalk

Before joining Microsoft, I did spend a fair amount of time in the BizTalk world, and to this day, it remains one of the most common source of questions I am asked when presenting on WF.

Paul showed off some cool stuff at TechEd, and yesterday released the code to enable a pretty interesting pattern where processes can be modeled in WF and then an orchestration can be created from the workflow to handle the messaging.  This gives you the flexible process modeling in WF and then rely on  BizTalk to handle all those messy real world details like transforming messages in the send port, communicating via the built in adapters, and handling retries. 

This is a cool project that let's you use both technologies together today.  Check it out and give feedback at the connect site!
