expression download
microsoft recently bought out creature house expression. while it may sound like a greeting card company, its actually a vector-based graphics program, somewhat similar to freehand and illustrator, but more like painter.
the cool thing is that microsoft is offering it as a free download. you have to go through a pretty intensive survey thing, requiring you to sign in with a .NET Passport (hotmail) account.
microsoft can screw users over even a free download.
but ive heard (cough) that there is a direct download link floating around.
