Microsoft Expression Web Designer, I won't believe it until I see it.
It is like telling me that Microsoft has finally wrote some cross-browser web designer that follows standards and makes up for all the harm IE caused the web so I can quit using Notepad and writing cross-browser code myself.
Bollox I tell you!; bollox.
Probably won't even pass the beta stage. :p

I'm genuinely excited about it.

I forsee a ton of new business for me repairing, nay rebuilding, horrifically managled websites built by this thing.

As war is to business (at the expense of the citizenry);
M$ is to web developers (at the expense of the client [who really should know better by now]).
