Microsoft on Monday announced the second early release of its new design tool known by the code name Acrylic. "Acrylic relates to Windows Vista and it is a technology for the creation of rich applications and user interfaces," said Forest Key, group product manager for the technology. Acrylic also re-lates to the Windows Presentation Foundation, formerly codenamed Avalon, and "gives devel-opers capabilities to build compelling applications. There is a need for tools to target XAML [Microsoft's Extensible Application Markup Language] for presentation of compelling applica-tions. Acrylic is a design tool to target XAML." | ||

| Hmmm... my original suspicions about the Expressions purchase are confirmed.... |

| Can you elaborate bluvg? What are you talking about? |

| Oh, nothing special. My suspicion when I heard of the purchase was that they wanted a vector graphics platform on which to build for developing Avalon apps and for working on the UI. It's a cool program, so I'm anxious to see what they will do with it. |
