a sprinkling of understanding Workflow in ILM 2

So by now all of you know that understanding Windows Workflow Foundation is going to be quite helpful in implementing ILM 2.

Having lived 9 of the last 12 months in Redmond, WA, I now understand a lot more about sprinkling

So I thought I would provide a sprinkling of understanding about Windows Workflow Foundation: a categorization of the built in workflows.

Very nice David, I would also urge readers to check out Mark Gabarra's blog for information relating WF and ILM 2. I also hope that we'll be able to goad our own Paul Divan into bringing his experiences to the blogosphere!
