WWF vs BizTalk?

CommunityMicrosoftSharePointTechnology

No I am not talking about huge muscle bulgy guys having a go at BizTalk in a ring or arena whatever you wanna call it..

I am talking about Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) here and BizTalk Server. WWF is the workflow engine that is embedded in the next version of SharePoint and the Office System server products. So this will also feature in: Navision, CRM, Project Server, Team Server, SPS and anything that used WSS under the hood.

With this people are a tad confused over BizTalk vs WWF. This Post from Scott Woodgate clearly identifies what WWF does and what BizTalk does.

For the less uninitiated who just want a direct answer its:

Workflow within Applications = Windows Workflow Foundation Workflow across Applications = BizTalk server
