MS Expression Blend 2 beta is out!

Anyone interested in the new version of Microsoft Silverlight, the new-on-the-streets competitor to Adobe/Macromedia Flash, should check out the Expression Blend 2 beta!  Silverlight is slowly starting to catch on and has been able to accomplish at least one majorly awesome thing:  it runs .Net code (C# or VB.Net) in the browser on operating systems other than just Windows.  The Mac OS and multiple flavors of Linux are now running .Net code through the silverlight browser plugin!  Take that, ActionScript!
