Microsoft has released Community Technology Previews (CTP) of two tools it is readying to help Web page and Windows applications designers more easily perform those tasks.

This is the first public CTP for Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer, formerly code-named "Sparkle." This is the second public preview of Microsoft Expression Graphic Designer, which was previously code-named "Acrylic."

The company announced the Expression family of products at its Professional Developers Conference 2005 in Los Angeles last September. Microsoft acquired developer Creature House and its Expression 3 graphic design and illustration package in 2003.
