ok, thanks for the help.
Some of you, was right: too many words, to much marketing without
identifying the final user. Smithers gave the easiest answer.
Now, as i wasn't enough confused, on the Microsoft web site i found
these:
Microsoft Expression Web
Microsoft Expression Design
Microsoft Expression Media
Microsoft Expression Blend
and
Microsft Silverlight.
now, since i'm learning to build web sites with Asp.Net 2.0 C#, coming
from Macromedia Flash, i'm kind of lost. If Silverlight can be
compared to the good old Flash, and Blend to Photoshop, what are the
others for? (Man, in my head there is a revolution!)
Please, if there is anyone that has any idea about those Microsft
software, using EASY words, could explain me (comparing with other
softwares) what are they for?
A billions of thanks,
Vinnie 2 2066

these:
Microsoft Expression Web
Expression Web is a tool for designing websites, using HTML and some
ASP.NET. If you want a similar tool, think of FrontPage (only newer) or
Adobe Dreamweaver. The next version should have some ability to work with
Silverlight (that is a guess, but a decent guess).
Microsoft Expression Design
Design is closest to a mix of PhotoShop and Illustrator. It allows you to
create both bitmap and vector graphics. It allows some output in XAML, so it
is allied with Blend.
Microsoft Expression Media
Media is designed to work with multimedia files (movies, etc.). It will
create some of the files in XAML and can aid you with parts of your
Silverlight applications.
Think of media as a mini Adobe Premiere, for web delivery of multimedia
content.
Microsoft Expression Blend
Originally designed to created WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
applications, which are desktop applications using XAML (an XML format that
describes user interfaces). In late 2006, WPF was expanded to the web, as
WPF/E, which is now called Silverlight.
The newest beta of Blend is aimed at Silverlight as well as WPF (or web and
desktop).
If you think of the current beta of Blend as Flash (the program, not the
plug in), you will be as close as you can get.
and
Microsft Silverlight.
Silverlight 1.0 is a simple runtime that works with JavaScript to create
interactive applications for the web. Silverlight 1.1, which is currently in
alpha (beta soon) is a mini .NET runtime that expands these interactive apps
to the full power of .NET.
now, since i'm learning to build web sites with Asp.Net 2.0 C#, coming
from Macromedia Flash, i'm kind of lost. If Silverlight can be
compared to the good old Flash, and Blend to Photoshop, what are the
others for? (Man, in my head there is a revolution!)
see above
Please, if there is anyone that has any idea about those Microsft
software, using EASY words, could explain me (comparing with other
softwares) what are they for?
If I did not do it good enough, let me know.

Wow, thanks a lot!
So, a consequential question: if i can do all with these tools, what
Visual studio for? I mean, if i can do all with the Expression Suite,
why i should use VS 2005 (or vice-versa)?
