I've been using this software for the past few months....this is Sparkle's official name...Blend. This software is strickly for developing UI controls. It creates a layer that sits on top of an application and the user interacts with it but the XAML (Blend's Code Language) doesn't do anything more than execute. There's no functions in it or anything like that. It's not even in the same relm as most of Adobe's products. It's a part of MS's quest to make PCs more like Apple's. They're trying to make software more "pretty" and they've even asked PC makers to start beautifying the classic beige box.
