Auckland kicked off Microsoft’s Expression around the Clock event, which was held in ten cities on October 4. Starting in Auckland, Expression finished in Zurich, Switzerland, where Steve Ballmer gave a keynote.
The recent Mix 07 conference was the launching pad for more than just Microsoft’s Expression and Silverlight products. Independent software vendors also demonstrated upcoming products that work within the same Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) graphical sub-system as Expression and Silverlight.
Eyeing the rich application design space, Microsoft is detailing milestones in its Expression design tools platform, including the introduction of Expression Media to manage video files, images and fonts.
