BizTalk vs WF
With the introduction of WF and other new technologies from Microsoft hitting the streets I constantly get "Why should I use BizTalk when WF can do the same thing?" It's often difficult to try and explain this until now ...
I just saw this post by Charles Young which has the best concise comparison I have seen in a long time.
The point is ... "horses for courses" ... pick the correct technology for your needs!
BizTalk is not a workflow tool, but a enterprise-level integration and message routing toolset primarily designed to handle and execute definitions of automated business processes;
WF on the other hand is a framework that allows you to roll your own workflow logic often involving manual processes and human intervention.
