So is this program no longer supported by Lion?
I downloaded the program but it's giving me a "no" sign over the expression icon. when i try to open it it says it is no longer supported.

i loved this program back when i had my non-mac computer. was hoping to download it on here.

Just downloaded Microdoft Expressions to my Mac. Extracted the file, called EX3, place it in my Applications folder and tried to Open It:

Here's the message i received:
This applicationEX# must be placed inside the application folder.

I did that and it did not work - Help1

Hi, try downloading the second link on the page. The one that says download v3.3 updater. It's about 55mb and has the full application. I did that, unzipped the .sit, copied the folder and double clicked the EX 3 application from inside there. Opened up no problem. The file at the top of the page didn't work for me either. I think they may have the two files mixed up or labeled wrong. Hope this helps.

To be specific, I downloaded the main app from:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/6/8/a687b8f6-ed78-4a59-87a7-3339441e8116/E33Mac370en.sit

Then, you can update the beta with this file:

The Update sit on Mac update would not open correctly for me but the above links worked well.

Microsoft released a new CTP (Community Technology Previw) just in January. Being quite definitive about no future Mac releases. Looks like many Mac users are upset. If you want to watch the evolution of the technology visit http://www.expressionstation.com

ArtRage is great, but isn't the same thing at all. Expression is a VECTOR app, so it offer more freedom.

I like to draw and design in Expression. But MS says there will be no Expression Graphic Designer for Mac, only for Windows. Expression started on the Mac platform and should remain available on the Mac.

Would be very pleased if Microsoft would consider releasing a new Mac version. This is a very unique vector drawing/paint app. How many former Mac Expression users are out there? Anyway, because there are almost no vector-based drawing/paint apps out there, MS can really sell this app to many Mac users who are usually the creative type. I can think of only one contender: Adobe Illustrator. And there's also Corel Painter, but thats pixel based. Under the Microsoft name, Expression or Acrylic could really flourish as an outstanding app for creating art. And I really like the concept of 'painting' in vector strokes.
