Mix '07 Free Stuff
Microsoft has done a great job at Mix (last year and this year). They always do a great job of giving away stuff. Maybe it is the exceptionally deep pockets but whatever the reason…they sure aren’t stingy with their software. :-)
Here’s what we got, for free, this year (just a couple highlights):
* Visual Studio 2005 Standard (nothing big here since I already have 2005 Pro but if I didn’t…sweet).
* Expression Suite (including a CD for Visual Studio Orcas Beta 1) which includes Expression Blend, Design, Media, and Web (4 separate products).
* Windows Vista Ultimate (already have it so Sarge will get this copy)
(note, these are full verions…not trials or previews [except for products still in development])
I love getting free stuff and this year my #1 free thing is the Expression Suite. I’m now enabled to toy with Silverlight a bit more as well as some of the sweet JS features available. There were other free things but nothing that amounts to the free software.

Final Expression products? or just the community previews?
Expression Web didn’t impress at all btw. Dreamweaver has completely spoiled me. I was expecting the Visual Studio / Dreamweaver level of product completeness and didn’t get it at all.
