So, I got a little bit of feedback from my initial post . First, thanks, it's great to see all of the interest in the technology. I want to use this as the place to answer common questions that arise about the sample. Here's one that I got internally as well as externally( here , here ) What about WCSF and Acropolis? Does this change how we think about the problem today? The short answers are "they are still here", "no". WCSF There are a lot of people who are using the Web Client Software Factory . It is definitely something you should check out, it is a great toolkit to build composite web applications. Part of what it does, among many other things, is the Pageflow Application Block designed to model navigation. This is what most people are wondering about when they first hear about the pageflow sample we released. Don't they do the same thing? From a functional level, yes, they both provide a nice abstraction to model flow through an application. This is a sample usage of WF to solve a similar problem in a little bit of a different way. The model inside the WCSF is extensible, allowing a different provider of pageflow information, so it is probably even possible to put this pageflow sample inside of the WCSF, I have yet to give that a try. At a deeper level, there are some differences that stem from the implementation of the Pageflow Application Block as a state machine, which I will get into in my next post. Acropolis Acropolis , announced at TechEd last week, is still early
