about Microsoft Expression Design and Microsoft Expression Encoder, Microsoft Expression Web · Nov 2014 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

I found out about this software about two years after it was discontinued. Why didn't I know anything about it? this is an amazing tool! I don't like using discontinued software because it may be unsupported by future operating systems.
