As Qixing mentioned in the previous post, Expression 2 is now live and available for trial download. One of the cool new things that is being introduced with Expression 2 is the Expression Professional Subscription, starting in June 2008.
If you are a designer, developer or wear both hats, this might be an option you will strongly want to consider. The Expression Professional Subscription contains a veritable treasure chest of software for a fraction of the price all of the software combined (Canadian pricing is still being worked out, but numbers I have seen make this a very good deal).

For information on the Academic Alliance subscriptions, please refer to http://www.msdnaa.net.

Thanks Paul, I just took a look at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/bb676724.aspx">the msdn-aa website</a>.

I think that's a question that I'll have to take up with the administrators since we don't even have Expression in our system.
In a previous post , I mentioned that Microsoft was bringing out the new Expression Professional Subscription
