Microsoft kills so-called Photoshop-killer
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week revealed that it was at least temporarily canceling work on a tool called Expression Graphic Designer, a professional graphics application which some had labeled a "Photoshop Killer." I, however, always thought of it as "unnecessary," and that, of course, is how interesting conversations often start. Anyway, Microsoft says that there's no compelling reason for it to release the product--I statement I certainly agree with--though it is continuing work on two companion products, Expression Interactive Designer and Expression Web Designer, both of which are aimed at Web development. And, like any good horror movie, there's always the chance that Expression Graphic Designer will rear its head for the sequel, when those other two products are ready to ship. We can only hope.
