Microsoft is sending out mixed messages, in terms of its Web-design-tool strategy.
First, there's the positioning. Redmond's "we plan to complement, not compete with Adobe" rhetoric — which I'm doubtful anyone who knows Microsoft will buy for a second.
And then there's the partitioning. Microsoft's decision not to make available its new design products available via its traditional developer channels, like Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). Already, that move has got some Microsoft customers up-in-arms.
