The trial software is a trial of Mac Office only. Although Expression Media
is included with one of the Office editions it is not a part of the Office
suite. AFAIK there is no trial version of it.

DO NOT confuse it with the PC software of a similar name: Expression Studio
3 is a completely different body of software.

The information on *only* this page describes what is included in the
Office:Mac 2008 Special Media Edition [which lists for only $100 more than
the Standard edition.]:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/expression-media.mspx The link from
there to "Expression Media 2" is an egregious error which actually takes you
to the Expression Studio 3 page -- that software is not available for the
Mac.
