Microsoft's Expression Web, released on December 4, 2006, is a standards-based Web design tool that the company is offering as an upgrade to FrontPage. It will be part of the Expression Studio suite, which is due in the second half of next year.
Microsoft's Expression Blend, due next year, is aimed at creative professionals designing visual Windows applications. It will be also be part of the Expression Studio suite.
Expression Designer, a graphics tool for building individual visual elements, uses XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) to describe graphics. Designers can export their visual designs as XAML files and share them with developers who use Visual Studio, which can also "read" XAML files.
Microsoft on December 4, 2006 released an early version of Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere (WPF/E), a download which, like Adobe's Flash player, can run rich media Web applications. Here WPF/E displays an animated game on the Safari browser running Mac OS.
Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere (WPF/E) can be used to play Web videos without the full Windows Media Player. The final product will be made available as a download in the first half of 2007
Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere (WPF/E) is a subset of the full graphics capabilties in Windows Vista. It does allow for animations, such turning pages in this digital photo scrapbook.

YaYa.... Microsoft always trying to copy others stuff...
Machan, I think this is so much smiler to their old soft "Frontpage".... But Microsoft Always trying to copy others stuff....
Dont say so, coz every web publisher s/w must have some set of features, so they shud also implement them if they like it or not. And every web publishing s/w has the same interface as the Dreamweaver interface. Bytheway u and me cant abuse them even if they copy, coz we're also using pirated s/w frm them, so think bfore u post! [And cant u post all info on a single post]chaminga_d said:

Well... I disagree with you to on this, yes it is true that there are set of features that a web authoring tool should provide but those are the BASIC FEATURES but when you view Frontpage and Dreamweaver there is a huge difference between them from both Authoring tools point of view and the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) point of view. I can give you many reasons why Dreamweaver is such a powerful editor and highly regarded in the industry as an Industry standard! There were and are many competitors for it but none were quite like the Dreamweaver!!! Even Adobe prior to obtain Macromedia had an web authoring tool called "Go Live!" if you've heard of it!!
Now, Front Page only included the Basics!! It's good to design and publish your home page and also for Novice use but designing and developing anything more would be a nightmare using it!!
Now Microsoft obviously understands the difference, now when you want a develop a good and competitive piece of s/w to whom would you look into 1st??? Obviously your main competitor (Simple business logics) so, its quite clear that Microsoft would have definitely had the peek over Dreamweaver!!!
And to comment on the piracy issue... just think that Microsoft ever found a way to 100% get rid of piracy and everyone must have legal copies!! can you just think what havoc it will cause to internet economy!!! Even though people use pirated s/w they still uses those softwares to purchase goods and services through net! So on the contrary though we use pirated s/w we are one part that aids world's economy indirectly!!!
