Over the weekend I had a bit of a play with Office 2007 and apart from the usual beta issues (performance and small bugs) I love it. The only remaining problem I have is that Visio won’t install with the same product key and I can’t find one specific to Visio.
I also downloaded and installed Expression Web Designer CTP. When I fired it up, I thought, ‘Hello… this looks familiar’. In fact the only difference between this and the Sharepoint Designer that I could find was the window caption and the about box. I suspect that future versions of EWP will build on the basic functionality of SD.
So, the question is, did someone in the Office Team steal the code from the Expression Team or vice versa? Maybe someone forgot to secure the Team System source code repository ??
