Microsoft Unveils Expression Tools Suite, Flash Killer

I saw this last week and I know a few of the SBSC members are looking at these dev tools.  I am no longer a hot developer, but this stuff looks good.  The mobile / Embedded versions also look powerful.

The article is summaried as "Microsoft announces Expression Studio, a new integrated suite of its design tools, including the new Expression Media asset management tool. The software giant also announces a new preview of its "Flash killer" technology. Should Adobe be worried?"

For those who do not know what the Expression suite is, it is focused on professional designers.  You can find out more about Expression at http://www.microsoft.com/expression.  We have the 1st product and others in Community Technology Preview (CTP - similar to beta process).  Information on the released product can be found at Expression Web 1.0, is available today at online retailers such as Amazon. The CTP products include Expression Design (CTP) and Expression Blend (Beta) (previously known by other names).  These products, along with the just-announced Expression Media digital asset management offering will ship together in Q2 of calendar 2007 as Expression Studio. 

For more information on the products, there is also the official Microsoft site, or the e-Week slide show (Microsoft Expression Web (Slide Show))

Expression Blend is looking really good, but what I really want to know is what ever happened to PhotoDraw 2000? I could never get along with PhotoShop and PhotoDraw 2000 was a really interesting hybrid vector/raster editing suite. It's a shame it seems to have faded into obscurity.

When running Microsoft Expression Web with Microsoft Business Edition I keep getting the following error Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working close program

Can you offer any assistance in rectifying this error.

Many thanks,

Peter

Peter,

have you downloaded the latest version and patched Vista from Windows Updates?
