Adobe CS or Microsoft Expression? Which one do you prefer?

Adobe CS.

Because it is not a Microsoft product

Hi

Either of them, but both are not cheap, cheapest Adobe CS is web standard at $999 and Expression Studio is $599, so guessing your pocket money is good.

I did not do anything for Adobe for CS studio so never got a copy of that, do have Photoshop CS4 from uncles company, and Expression Studio 3 I have from MSFT due to having MSDN, so use Expression Studio for any works I need to do with those apps.

I use the whole Adobe CS suite at school. Taking some computer\web design\programming courses.
However, I'm using Expression Studio 3, because my friend did not like it, and he gave me his key.
BUT, if I want Adobe, all I have to do is ask the school, because they said they have alot of extra keys to give to students.
But I personally like Expression Studio, regardless of the fact microsoft made it.

Hi Z

Thats neat on the school and if they have a spare key for you do try Adobe out as its worth at home testing it when your not in the classroom scenario, I know I find less irritations when at home using development apps over using them in work.

I do like Expression as the guides are also good, GUI is a bit better than CS for me, but each to their own I guess.

True. One thing I do wish that Expression had was better FTP support, but oh well. It did come from Microsoft, so I shouldn't complain.
