Expression Web 2 is not available with Empower MSDN subscription

I have MSDN access through my ISV Empower subscription and noticed that I could access Expression Web 1 but not Expression Web 2. Version 2 was greyed and not available. I got confirmed from Microsoft that this was the case and that this media is only available for Certified Partners and in other MSDN subscriptions. Too bad, have to go back to version 1 again as my trial period of version 2 has ended.
