eWeek | at | by Mike

As Microsoft enters into a new arena with its Expression family of design tools, the software giant is looking for partners to help spread the word and get customers ready to adopt the new technology.

At its WPC in Boston from July 11-13, Microsoft called on partners to support its effort to get a piece of the design tools space via the company's upcoming family of Expression design tools that will complement the Microsoft Visual Studio developer tool set.

John Byrum, product manager for the Microsoft Expression tools, presented Microsoft's perspective in a session titled "Building the next generation of Web 2.0 and Windows applications with Microsoft Expression," at the Microsoft WPC on July 13.
