Hi.

I can't find newer Microsoft Blend Preview. Is it available?

Thank you for your answers.

I read in another forum a while ago, that 2.5 was replaced by Blend 2 with SP1.

Edit: I found it here:

Q. What happened to Expression Blend 2.5?

A. Expression Blend 2.5 provided support for Silverlight 2 through its Beta cycle, both Beta 1 and Beta 2. Silverlight 2 has now been released and the Silverlight 2 platform support that Expression Blend 2.5 enabled is being made available to all our Expression Blend users via the Expression Blend 2 Service Pack 1.

Actually, since this is the official (FAQ) answer, I'd argue this is the better reply and deserves the tick. I've given it +1, anyway ;-p

Replaced by SP1:

“Rather than give it a new version string (and force existing users to upgrade to a new version), we decided to release the functionality using a service pack for the existing shipping product. All the functionality that was in previous Blend 2.5 builds is now included in SP1.”

Installing SP1 extends the trial with 60 days
