在 MIX 07 上,微软官方宣布发布Expression Studio 面向初级设计师和用户的设计套件,这一新产品被定位为"下一代用户体验“的基础软件.Expression是一个基于Windows Presentation Foundation技术的设计软件, 使用Expression Blend 2可以创建基于Silverlight的应用程序,目前其套件"Expression Design"和Blend 2.0都已经发布,并且有Trial版本提供给用户测试.我们也知道Adobe's Creative Suite刚刚发布不久,而Expression和CS3比起来当然重量级不是一个档次,因此微软也实事求是地说:Express Studio不是Adobe的竞争对手.内含下载和报价表下载:Silverlight 1.1 Alpha/Beta
