Microsoft changes tune on Expression
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft announced today that its Expression Web product will immediately be included as part of the Microsoft Developer Network Premium subscription. Later this year, subscribers will gain access to Expression Blend, a tool for creating rich user interfaces for Web and desktop applications, the company says.
The move follows an outcry from developers, who had slammed the company for initially charging subscribers a $99 upgrade fee for Expression Web, which shipped in December 2006. S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of Microsoft's developer division, acknowledged the public backlash in a post on his blog.
