Video Interview: Paul Andrew on Workflow Foundation

In this interview I caught a few minutes of Paul's time to talk about Workflow Foundation or WF for short. Paul moved to Redmond from down under to take a role on the Evangelism team covering WF and WCF. The interview is not long, but that's the point, short and focused.

To some, WF may seem like a "Johnny come lately", but MSFT has committed to use WF as its common workflow engine across its product lines beginning this year. (Fiscal years for MSFT end in June and begin in July and this is the beginning of Fiscal Year 2008.) This means even Biztalk, Office, Windows all use WF or will be using WF very very soon.

We talk about the ISV opportunity with WF and focus on several of the larger workflow vendors and their response to WF. We talk about the target scenarios for WF and the sweet-spots for the current 1.0 version.

If you have any questions, post them here or ping Paul.

About the 9 minute mark - you can hear the movers being rather noisy in the hall.  I think you can visibly see me tense and I actually ended the interview wiping my forehead.  In the end, the sound came out okay.
