With .NET 3.0, Microsoft introduced WF to the .NET world as a new way of thinking about and modeling business processes and state machines. Version 3.5 expanded WF to include support for WCF, but otherwise the framework remained unchanged. WF 4.0 is a major evolution of the framework; the entire library has been rewritten from the ground up to be a leaner, meaner, and far more efficient beast. Not only has it been rewritten to be easily testable, it now uses WPF for all UI elements. Add in tighter integration with WCF and the new Dublin functionality, and it's a very exciting time for Windows Workflows Foundation users.
