Have you been holding back trying Windows Workflow Foundation until the RTM of Visual Studio 2005, then you don't need to wait any longer. The latest release, version 1.2 is compatible with VS 2005 and you don't even need to install any other parts of the WinFX bits.
If you don't have a machine to try it on, then theMicrosoft Virtual Labs provide a hosted place for you to explore.
