The New York Times discusses iView MediaPro, Expression Media
Better shoeboxes for digital photos
By Ian Austen, The New York Times
February 3, 2007
"Microsoft's interest in photo management software is not confined to Vista. Last year, it bought iView Multimedia, the maker of MediaPro, a $200 program with a reputation for working quickly when searching through large numbers of photos. The program can also store other types of data, including video and music. This spring, MediaPro will become a new program, Microsoft Expression Media. It will include additional features and cost $100 more. Despite the new ownership, it will be sold in Mac and Windows versions."
Read the full story here.
Note: All registered owners of iView MediaPro 3 will receive a free download copy of Expression Media when it is released in spring 2007.
