I will save a full prodcut review for the main product as more people who haven't used Expression Web before are likely to look there but I thought I'd comment on Microsoft's choice of upgrade paths which are generous to say the least (unlike Adobe's attempt at daylight robbery with Dreamweaver).

You qualify to use the upgrade license if you have any of the following:

* Expression Web 1 or Expression Studio 1

*Any of the following Adobe packages (any version) - Creative Suite, Dreamweaver, Flash, Director, Go Live

* Microsoft Office (any version)

* Front Page (any version)

This is about the broadest upgrade route I have ever seen and must be welcomed in today's world of complicated EULA's (please note the above is straight of the box - I have a copy).

It also shows how serious Microsoft is about broadening the appeal of Expression Web which is a good thing because it really is an excellent package.

Not sure and own any of the above software. Then download the trial and see what you think (you won't be disappointed). If you like it you can legally buy this upgrade version for just £99. Great value!

Upgraded from EW1 and it's worth it. PHP here I come. This is a value for money route if you've used Frontpage you can use it. Dreamweaver is just too expensive and quite complex to set up some basics. EW is so easy and some of the features are really helpful especially when transitioning an old tables based layout site to a CSS driven one. It's pretty intuitive. During installation on Vista Ultimate 64-bit I was a little concerned due to an absence of dialog box and progress display that nothing was happening, especially as I have a fast machine. Be patient. It does do everything pretty much unattended. EW is a great bit of kit for hobbyists and professionals alike. This upgrade route is great value.

When I first got this product, installation hung up. There are one or two known issues but the problem was not one of those. It was "escalated" to software support in Germany who were very helpful and even allowed me to download a "one-off" build which installed without problems and I have had no problems since.

I was upgrading from FrontPage which I have used for several years in a WYSIWYG mode. I decided that I wanted to use CSS and needed a more professional package. I chose it because with an upgrade it is much cheaper than Dreamweaver. The program works well for me. Adding IDs and Classes and other CSS actions are one click operations. My one complaint is that Expression Web 2 is (not surprisingly)biased to other Microsoft products such as ASP which my ISP does not support.
