Microsoft Acrylic

I learned that Microsoft announced Microsoft Acrylic when I was reading Scoble today. I immediately clicked on the link to the product page and I can say that I could not find any compelling reason to press the “Click Here to download Now!” link. Do you know what I look for first when I go to a product site? Screenshots! Is it that hard to put screenshots on a webpage? I don’t think so. What else do I look for? Features. What does this thing do? Ok, it is a “professional graphics software” but how is it different from other professional graphics software. At the end of my couple of minute long visit to the page, I do not have a clear understanding of the product to urge to me to download and “help Microsoft to test their new professional graphics software”.

Does the fact that the product being a technology preview and beta prevent the team to provide more information? I would think a technology preview product would be eager to give more details and a compelling reason to download and seriously test the new technology. What do you think Scoble?
