Microsoft takes baby steps into a Graphic designers toolbox with Microsoft Acrylic. Will it be the end to Photoshop ? scary but I think not.

Back in 2003, Microsoft quietly acquired a little known graphic software house called “Creative Expressions”, so it got 2 years to massage the code and grow a decent software out of its remains. I am not too much worried about any imminent threat to Photoshop, Macromedia tried once to unseat the king, with its Vector/Bitmap combo tool Fireworks, but failed (and got acquired to boot)

So I am sure Photoshop is here to stay, but I am curious. I am beta-testing this new Microsoft Photoshop beater - full review soon.
