I'll tell you .......Microsoft Expression Web!!

Review: Microsoft's Expression Web—which rivals leader Dreamweaver on many levels—could be a more significant release than even Vista and Office 2007.

eWEEK Dec4, 2006

"In the wake of the massive releases of Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007, it will be easy for people to overlook the release of a Microsoft product with an unfamiliar name. But in the modern world, where Web applications and service-oriented architectures are becoming as important—or even more important—than desktop-based products, the release of Microsoft's Expression Web could prove to be as significant as that of its more widely heralded siblings.

In its most basic form, Expression Web is the successor to Microsoft's FrontPage Web authoring application. However, eWEEK Labs' tests show that Expression Web is much more than that: While we always looked at FrontPage as a fairly basic Web editing tool that fell short when it came to serious Web development, Expression Web has taken a big leap in functionality and capability—to the point where it is a serious competitor to the leader in Web authoring, Adobe's Dreamweaver."

Looking forward to sharing this article with all my colleagues who are busy touring the UK on the EVO roadshow! :-)

Yesterday Microsoft announced Expression Studio - a new suite of tools for web developers. I will be working on this new offering to develop a channel for Microsoft. So expect to see more info as it emerges.

The Microsoft Expression Studio consists of Expression Web (formerly known by the code name Quartz); Expression Blend, the new name for Microsoft Interactive Designer (formerly known by the code name Sparkle); Expression Design, the new name for Expression Graphic Designer (formerly known by the code name Acrylic); and a new tool, Expression Media.

This new technology will offer a tool for developers that currently use products such as Adobe Macromedia & Dreamweaver.

Expression Web, the Web design tool that had been in beta up to now, is available immediately. Expression Studio and all of the individual products will ship in the second quarter of 2007.
