Windows Workflow Foundation is the programming model, engine and tools for quickly building workflow-enabled applications on Windows. It consists of a Microsoft® WinFX® name space (System.Workflow), an in-process workflow engine, and designers for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Windows Workflow Foundation is available (currently as Beta) for both client and server versions of Windows. Windows Workflow Foundation supports a wide range of scenarios including workflow within line-of-business applications, user interface page flow, document-centric workflow, human workflow, composite workflow for service-oriented applications, business rule-driven workflow and workflow for systems management.

There are two downloads on this page:

The Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 1.2 runtime components are required for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services "3.0" (Beta 1), Office "12" servers (Beta 1), and "FrontPage 12" (Beta 1).

The Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation are required for customers who are designing workflows in Visual Studio 2005 and/or require the Windows Workflow Foundation SDK."

I'm very interested in WF... Now to install this on my primary or in a VPC?

I like the standard beta disclaimer on the page, "Note: This is a Beta release. Therefore, do not install these builds on machines you depend on."

sigh... VPC

Now all I have to do is build a VPC with VS2005 RTM on it. Oh well it's just time and drive space.  :|

Update #1 – 11/5/2005 @ 4:46PM PST:
Here’s a post from the MS WF Tech Manager, Paul Andrew, Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 1 for Visual Studio 2005 RTM that confirms WF beta 1.2 is for VS2005/.Net 2.0 RTM.

“…In terms of functionality there's no difference between Beta 1 and Beta 1.2 but they require different versions of the .NET Framework.

1. Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 1 requires the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2


2. Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 1.2 requires the .NET Framework 2.0 RTM
