Workflow vs. BizTalk Server

Now that Microsoft has announced Windows Workflow Foundation (know just "WF", see why here), everyone keeps asking "what's going to happen to BizTalk Server? Is it dead?"

The press has been drawing their own conclusions.

Scott Woodgate responds in an excellent post on the future of BizTalk Server and it's relationship to WF. The bottom line: WF is for workflow within applications while BizTalk is for workflow across applications. The later is the primary use case for enterprise application integration where BizTalk Server will continue in force.
