Named Microsoft Expressions, the suite has 3 programs included appropriately named Expression Interactive Designer, Expression Graphic Designer and Expression Web Designer.

The Suite is supposed to be fighting with Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver in my opinion, and so far, they have released a Technology Preview for each of the 3 programs. So far, I think Expression Interactive Designer is the most interesting of the 3, and rightly so.

It expresses some long standing problems Flash has experienced. For example, 3D compatibility, and smoother and nicer looking text, to improve readibility.

To take a look at the various program previews or to download the Technology Preview, head over to Microsoft by clicking the link below:
