Now this is not a shock, I could have predicted that in a heartbeat. But it's still great news. Microsoft has a long way to go before they can compete 1:1 against Adobe in that space. Not giving it to the MSDN Subscriber that have all the other development products was a mistake. Whether we like it or not, as developer these days we then to do a bit of everything and designing interface it one of those jobs. Now I might still create crappy layouts but at least they will look better now that I will have tooling to do them ;-).
Thank you Microsoft for listening to your customers.
Cheers,
