There is a new multimedia/graphics suite by Microsoft in beta stages and set to come out next year. It's called Microsoft Expression and it looks very promising even in a beta stage. If you have a hotmail account, you can download the beta for free and try it out. Basically, its a suite much like Adobe Studio (Macromedia studio), where it has a program called Web Designer and is like Dreamweaver. It also has a program called Graphic Artist, which looks somewhat like a Adobe Photoshop or possible Fireworks. Finally, they have a program called Interactive Design, which seems like it would be something interesting to IMD majors except I have no idea how to even use the program. I don't think they'll be able to touch Adobe's Photoshop, but I think the Web Designer program looks pretty promising because it is fully integrated with ASP / ASP.NET web scripting languages.
You can check out the features or even download the beta at http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx.
