  • Creature House Expression was a vector graphics editor initially developed by Creature House in tandem with Fractal Design Corporation and later MetaCreations as a companion to Painter. At the time, Creature House was an independent Hong Kong software studio. Expression tried to duplicate Painter's UI as close as possible and was available for Mac OS and Windows. Some time after Fractal Design and MetaTools merged into MetaCreations, a public company, management decided to thin out the product portfolio and focus on a more specific audience. Expression ended up back with Creature House who released two versions of the software under their own brand name, Expression 2 and Expression 3. Eventually, Microsoft purchased Creature House and continued development under the code name Acrylic. In 2007, the original Expression application became part of Microsoft's Expression Studio suite of applications, rebranded and rewritten in WPF as Microsoft Expression Design. Windows XP and Vista versions are available, although Mac OS X support has officially been discontinued.
  • Creature House Expressionは香港の企業Creature Houseが製作したドロー系ソフトウェア。元々はMacintosh用ソフトウェアであったが、現在は同社を買収したマイクロソフトによってMicrosoft Expressionスイートの一部としてWindows版のみが開発・販売されている。
  • Creature House Expression 是一個矢量繪圖軟件，原本是由一間名為 Creature House 的香港公司開發，後來這間公司輾轉易手，賣給 Ray Dream，Ray Dream 後來跟 Fractal Design 合併，及後 Fractal Design 又再跟 MetaTools 合併而成為 MetaCreations。接下來 MetaCreations 將其下的軟件部門分拆出售，Expression 軟件的版權又重回它的創辦人 徐迢之(Alex Hsu) 及 Creature House 公司手中。 此後 Creature House 分別推出 Expression 2.0 及 3.0 版。到了 2003 年 9 月，消息傳出 Microsoft 收購了 Creature House，並把其下的 Expression 矢量繪圖與 Living Cels 動畫技術收歸未來的 Sparkle 架構之中。 到了 2004 年 6 月左右，Microsoft 把更新的 Expression 3.3 版釋放出來給用戶免費下載（需註冊 Hotmail Passport 帳號），而且同時提供了 Mac OS X 版及 Windows 版。另外，Expression 3.3 的介面已經全面中文化，以利廣大中文用戶。 於 2005 年 6 月，Microsoft Expression 推出了新的測試版本，代號名為 Acrylic：這個新版本正處於測試階段。Acrylic 的一些新功能介紹可參考這個英文網頁。
