Microsoft Corp. plans to release its first suite of Web and graphic design software by mid-2007, putting it into head-to-head competition with graphics kingpin Adobe Systems Inc.

The software suite, now named Expression Studio, is expected to ship sometime in the second quarter. All four components will sell for a combined price of $599.

The suite, which had been scheduled for release by the end of this year with just three applications, now includes iView Media Pro photo management software acquired by Microsoft in June.

That application, now renamed Expression Media, is available for trial or purchase for $299 at Microsoft's Web site, with a free upgrade once the product ships next year.
