Oh geez. This is bizarre.

1) Microsoft is buying Creaturehouse (who wrote Fractal Design 
Expression, Expression, and the not yet released Living Cels which I 
posted about a couple of weeks ago (see above).

2) Microsoft announces a "Flash Killer" to be included Longhorn

1 + 2 = no Expression or Living Cels for Mac Users?

Anyways- I thought it would be of interest since there a lot of 
multimedia folk on the list.
