Lets get right to it. While doing some research to try and figure out a workflow problem that I've been having, I came across the website for a company called Nintex. They sell a pretty cool piece of software that allows you to create custom WWF (Windows Workflow Foundation) based workflows pretty much on the fly, the software is actually a GUI that snaps right into the SharePoint interface. The software is called Nintex Workflow 2007.
You can create a custom list, and right from within the list itself, you can click on Settings and the option to create a workflow for that list will be available. I liked that, I don't need to go to another application and deploy my custom workflow, I can do it all from within sharepoint.
But............there is always a but...
It is pricey! You get three difference editions. A Standard, Enterprise, and Workgroup edition. Below is are the details...
