Since the 1.4 preview was released today….soon? 
I am excited about this. My company's workflow is a bit too complex for Alfresco's current "Simple Workflow" and would need customization. I downloaded jBPM, installed it, and went through their demo. I like the idea of being able to design the workflow using a graphical editor that uses a flowchart, since I've been defining our process/workflow in Visio anyway.
Current we have a single document that is used from the time we get an order until the system is installed and handed over to support. We are looking at breaking this behemoth of a document up into smaller parts. It could take months for our process to complete. Managers want to see at-a-glance what the state is of all active workflows, how long they have been in that state and who is assigned the next task to move the process forward. The jBPM demo demonstrated just such a scenario (with an ugly UI, but hey it was a demo). I hope jBPM integrated into Alfresco will be able to accomplish this.
