Tim Sneath provided a consolidated list of technologies made available for download during the Mix08 conference.  All developers enjoy new software bits and here is his list with a few additions:

When a reader asked Tim about which version of Expression Studio to install, his advice:

Here's the deal. Moving forward, Expression Blend 2 contains support for shipping technology: that is, WPF 3.x and Silverlight 1.0. Expression Blend 2.5 is a preview of the next release after Blend 2; it runs side-by-side with Blend 2 and supports WPF 3.x, Silverlight 1.0 and Silverlight 2. You're probably best to install both together - at this point, Blend 2 is more stable than 2.5 as a development environment for WPF and Silverlight 1.0, according to my Blend buddies.
