New month, new version, new site, new way to buy!

So it's all change in the land of Microsoft Expression. We're delighted to announce the availability of version 2 of Expression Studio, that's five new versions of Microsoft's design tools all featuring support for Silverlight.

You can read about all the new features, checkout video snippets and of course, download trial versions from the brand new Expression Website that went live this morning, featuring a new look that matches the recently launched Community Website.

And there's a new way to buy this new version, the Expression Professional Subscription, which offers a range of benefits including operating systems, tools and a license for Parallels Desktop for Mac so designers with Apple hardware can run the tools with ease using either Windows Vista or Windows XP, both of which are included in the subscription.

Congratulations from me to the entire development team on this major release, and to my colleagues responsible for the new Website!
