    I've googled it, but I've seen no other mention (other than mine) of the fact that Weven has disappeared from the subscriber downloads page on the Expression Pro subscription site. Maybe Microsoft got everyone else to drink the koolaid...

      Neg they just blocked you and you alone. Payback for all those 'Why vista/vs/... sucks today' posts?

      Over the last year I followed those and I'd bet/believe something great developed in John's work and criticism.. Intelligent rather than usual sheep-mentality you see around here on anything MS shoves down the devs neuron fields, those without any firing activity whatsoever.. Criticism is the only way forward and for some people and Redmond companies to accept that seems like a: <insert Toyota advert here > Windows, VS, Blend, are bloated, heavy and broken products and ideas for a long while now and getting excited about new releases is as encouraging as Java-runs-everywhere promise of '96-to-date.. No wonder that once people try Apple products they never go back, especially in anything media based.. then again, that is another another/extreme example of fanboi problem. What is lacking is alternatives and critical thinking is the only way you'll ever see anything serious done ( but MSDN.*.com should be filtered by the firewall at all times).

        Not only he said it, but actually he invented this silly word and many others adopted it. I just hope it stays in the CP community and does not break loose in the wild.

              You're entitled a single download, and you have chosen to abort yours. You'll have to wait for Win8 now. :)

                1. I don't think it was a mistake 1) You aren't authorized to add or deduct man points because you haven't attended the proper classes.

                  I've been *TRYING* to spread it in the wild since it was coined. I'm having very little (read no) success in doing so. :doh:

                    I forgot to tell you so far, but "Weven" is Dutch for "widows", not "windows". :laugh:

                      You should start an online petition demanding Microsoft change the name to Weven. When they don't, submit a legal protest to the EU, claiming lack of competition. Then submit a slashdot post claiming that Microsoft is going to sue Linux/LinusT for trademark infringement of the Weven name.
