Finally I can talk more about what we are doing internally. A day of multiple announcements and releases have all occurred and there is so much more about which to talk and to play. (The actual press release is here.)

First, what has been announced:

* New names for all the products, Expression Web, Expression Blend, Expression Design and Expression Media.

* New downloadable versions of Expression Blend and Expression Design: Expression Web is now shipping!

* Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the "WPF/E". WPF/E is a cross- platform browser plug-in for delivering rich media, animation, and video content

* Updated web sites. Check out Microsoft.com/design and Microsoft.com/Expression. For WPF/E information go here. And for Expression Media here.

 

What to do? Go download the products and try them out! They are on the microsoft.com/expression site. You can trial the products, or, in the case of Expression Web, just pick up a copy.

Expression Web is the successor to FrontPage and FrontPage users can get a copy for just US$99.

There are a bunch of other resources on the site (videos and demos). I look forward to hearing what you think.
