> How does this product fit in the scheme of developing ASP.NET 2.0
websites?
Does it compliment Visual Web Developer 2005 Express? Expected release
time frame?

The expression products are mainly GUI/graphic/image tools. Expression was
originally an illustration package...sort of competed with Illustrator and
Photoshop. Their new Expression 'Sparkle' is an XAML GUI editor...akin to
Macromedia Flash...with the difference being that the logic can be created
in VS.net (as opposed to Actionscript, in Flash).
As it's a Vista-only product, it seems fairly worthless for web-centric
development. Might be a nice way to make windows applications though.
I have a hunch it'll end up like Flash. Great concept, certainly useful in
certain applications, but abused/overused 90% of the time 'just because we
can'.
