I just clicked through the MS site and watched all the video demos, and I must say, I'm confused. I thought microsoft wasn't going to fix a lot of IE7 bugs. The Expression suite seems to support standards based web development. Also it seems there is support for full alpha transperancy in png images. Will microsoft make IE7 more standards compliant afterall??
I myself being predominately a developer looking to get into design am somewhat impressed by the Graphic Designer videos. I recently went through the Total Training videos for Illustrator CS2 and it seems that microsoft is introducing some interesting ways of doing things that might allow someone like me to have a better chance at grasping design.
I know a lot of people like making M$ jokes, myself included. And I am the last person to support them. In fact, the suites integration with all things microsoft makes me sick! However, if the new suite of applications turns out to be as good as they look, maybe it will be beneficial in the long run, for the entire market.
