  Microsoft Expression Web goes gold - in stores Dec 10th
Time: 12:32 EST/17:32 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft has let us know that Expression Web, their Frontpage replacement has gone gold and will be in stores around December 10th. On a bad note, Microsoft has also let us know that it won't be showing up on MSDN as they have said it isn't a developers tool. This contradicts the fact that Frontpage is on MSDN and some of us are web developers!

Is Microsoft Kidding? Since when is Expression Web Designer not a developer tool?

I believe SharePoint Designer is the developer tool equivelant of Expression Web Designer (they share code base). Despite its name, SPD is not just for SharePoint projects.

Plus, SPD is on MSDN.

Will SPD have the Interactive Designer and Graphic Designer features as well? Are they part of Web Designer or separate products?

I don't care if it is a developer tool or it is not (but I think it is). The fact is that the Expression line is targeted to the "creative professionals" that have to work the user interface of the rich client and web applications developed by guess who... So they are part of the product cycle, they check-out and in to the same configuration management.

I don't care if it is a developer tool. It should be in MSDN. Anyway, cheers to Soma and all those involved. It is a great addition.

What about TechNet subscribers? Think it will be available for them?

Wow, a lot of comments here. One struck a nerve with me, "I guess Microsoft is tired of shelling out free stuff to developers." Since when. Visual Whatever was never free until the latest Express editions. And since when is spending two grand or so for MSDN subscription free?

More importantly... If Microsoft is not going to provide Expression Web to MSDN subscribers then why did they tout it in the Fall MSDN events which covered:

Visual Studio for DB professionals
Windows Workflow Foundation
<b>Expression Web</b>

I learned of the Expression product line in my TechNet and MSDN newsletters. This really is a slap in the face for developers.
