• Software Development for Windows Vista simple question

  What are the risks of having just one runtime controlling hundreds of workflows altered by many people instead of more runtimes controlling a little less workflows In the first scenario, if a workflow freezes, the runtime also freezes (altering the other workflows) Thanks, Ariel Schapiro .
