Microsoft Expression Studio

Zitat: For: Good links to other Microsoft dev tools Promise of easy HD media handling Support for RAW files, video and audio Relatively affordable Against: Falls far short of CS3 in terms of content creation Framework as a whole not finished yet Perhaps a little too Microsoft-specific No Mac support Verdict: Not the CS3 killer Microsoft may have wanted. As a hook for Silverlight, it’s more of a pre-release taster (if rich media web delivery is your speciality)

Zitat: Pros: + With all the tools bundled together + it´s an affordable piece of software; Expression Web because it represents such a positive step forward from FrontPage; Expression Media´s functions are exposed through APIs + which you can see in action through a number of included sample scripts written in Visual Basic; multilayer Photoshop images can be browsed as thumbnails but can also be browsed layer by layer when you view them directly in Media; you can try before you buy! Cons: - CMYK support is completely absent from Microsoft Expression Design; Expression Web is geared a little more toward professional Web developers than novices; there is no Preview tab in Expression Web One feature of the entire Microsoft Expression Studio bundle that could prove attractive to a lot of Windows users is its price. Getting all these tools for the price is pretty hard to beat, and if you need at least two of them, it´s a fair bargain. If history is any guide, though, Microsoft will have a finger in the wind for how the suite can be made more of a suite, and make the next version of Expression Studio a truly remarkable piece of work.

Zitat: Microsoft hat zwar das Rad nicht neu erfunden, liefert aber mit Expression Studio ein solides Produkt ab.
