and Microsoft Expression - tools for Designer or Developer?

Four new products from Microsoft developers are waiting for us ... or not?

* Microsoft Expression Media (final version is released in mid-2007)
Expression Media is a product for digital asset management. Based on the software iView MediaPro, which was acquired in June 2006 by Microsoft, it is the cataloging and processing of media files such as graphics and video.

I do not think this product is of interest to developers.


* Microsoft Expression Design (Beta 1 available, final Version appears in mid-2007)
Expression Design is the image editing program, so the PhotoShop of Microsoft. The product covers the highest standards, but it could also overwhelm some developers. Leichhardt much keep to because it better to the Paint.NET 3.0 with a developer achieves the desired result, and yet there is also the source code (see last posts).

I do not think this product is of interest to developers.


* Microsoft Expression Web (already available)
This is from Microsoft FrontPage emerged Expression Web is a web development environment, unfortunately, not everything you wish for. I was totally disappointed by this product. For example, no themes and skins in ASP.NET 2.0 also supports basics such as a table-free layout (with DIV tags and CSS) is not supported. This means the designer can not display and there's no tools, IntelliSense, ... to work with.

I do not think this product is of interest to developers.


* Microsoft Expression Blend (Beta 2 available, final version is released in mid-2007)
Expression Blend is a design tool for creating interactive user interfaces. It acts as a WYSIWYG editor for XAML, a formulated in XML language for describing and creating surfaces of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF and WPF / E). Vector graphics, raster graphics, 3D objects from popular 3D programs, video, sound and text can be combined together and animate using a timeline.

I think that this product is up to a certain point also of interest to developers. To exploit all the possibilities, but it should be placed in the hands of a graphic artist.
