A friend of mine just asked if Microsoft had a drawing / media program. Of course, I leaped to the conclusion (it's a way I burn calories) she meant something more than Paint, and I was right. I told her “no“, and wondered why we haven't broken into that market. Opportunities abound: integration with Microsoft Office components already on the desktop, media services and PCs, etc.
So .. armed with my SmartCard, I did some digging. Lo and behold, Microsoft released a product in beta called “Acrylic“. It's out now, for a free 180-day beta. You'll need a Passport to acquire the bits.
