Got Acrylic?

[Nikolai]

Following the promised RAW support, our (in:-)famous "s/w behemoth" deployed its first beta copy of a new PS-like tool, Acrylic (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0506/05061302microsoft_acrylic.asp).
Based on a previously acquired Expression s/w, its support forum (http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/), which I checked, shows pretty cold receiption thus far. Most of the beta users are disappointed - which is pretty understandable considering the circumstances.
They also say that it's no match for PS, at least in its current state..
Well, I guess we'll see...

You frienldly MS watch

Nik Yeah, from I've been reading it's far from releasable, and much more of an Illustrator than a Photoshop rival.

I have the beta....And I can't even put a filter on without it crashing.:wxwax
I hope it gets but as it is now....All I can see is they put some PS filters into a different interface....
