It’s Alive!

Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer – Free Trial
So Expression Interactive Designer (AKA “Sparkle”) is finally publicly available in a CTP (pre-beta) download. Check it out and let us know what you think. The product is definitely not finished yet and your feedback counts.
We also now have a new version of Expression Graphic Designer available. It now has some good XAML exporting options that make it useful even for anyone trying to create graphic assets for use in XAML. EGD is also a CTP (pre-beta) release so plan accordingly and let us know what you’d like to see in the product before it ships.

    What’s this got to do with brazilian nuts and large crickets?

  2. Hmm. Didn’t you mention something earlier about a “healthy fear of pre-beta software”?
    Seriously, I’m glad to see that people are actively working on products to make these confusers easier to use for the clueless masses. I’m one of the more clueless of the bunch, so if you need a real stress test of a UI just send it my way. You don’t want to know the words I had for MS Word when I was trying to print labels for Christmas cards.
