When should I use Message Queuing (MSMQ) or Workflow Fundation (WF)? What exaclty are these two products? How could you define them? What are their properties? What are their utilities?
MSMQ is a message queue implementation, sometimes also used as a form of interprocess communication.
Windows Workflow Foundation is an API over a workflow engine.
Although you could implement (part of) a workflow engine using MSMQ, the two technologies have very little relation to each other really. Consider using MSMQ if you need a message queue implementation, for details on how it works see the documentation. Consider using WF if you need a workflow engine. For details, again see the documentation
