Workflow foundation and winFX licensing and cost.

I have been reading about the Workflow foundation that seems to be part
of WinFX. I would like to try it out, but I am afraid that I will like
it too much. You may say, what is the problem with that? Well, right
now it seems to be in some form of Beta, and it is free. My question
is: will it be free after it is released? If not do you have any idea
as to what the pricing and or licensing will be like? Are there any
server products that are required in order to use the human workflow
modeling?

Thank you for your time.

Yes. It's going to be part of Vista anyway, and MS would be absolutely
bonkers to charge for it - they're pushing it as the new application
platform, effectively.
