&lt;p&gt;The link to the announcement gives a 404 error. &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/news-press/expression-news-press-2006-12-04.mspx"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/news-press/expression-news-press-2006-12-04.mspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the expression web-site &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx&lt;/a&gt; it still lists it as Expression Beta1 for download&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;may be its the cached pages on the servers in my part of the world (India).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW: Will the Expression Suite be made available to MSDN &amp;nbsp;Subscribers for testing it out? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Folks on the team are working on the links becoming live as we speak. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes - the pre-release products (Expression Blend and Expression Design) will be available for download for testing these out - sometime today.&lt;/p&gt;
