What happened to Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition?

I went to launch Windows Media Encoder earlier today, and accidently clicked on “Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition” instead. Instead of the application opening, I was presented with this error message:
Didn’t see that coming! I am a digital pack rat, so I still have the setup file - I downloaded it on October 3rd, 2006. I remember installing Studio Edition and having a quick look around, but I promptly forgot all about it.
Until today, that is.
So off to the Windows Media Encoder downloads page I go. Turns out the Studio Edition beta is history:
Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition Beta 1 is no longer available. Please visit the Windows Media Software Products Vendor page to learn about third-party products that provide advanced Windows Media Video encoding.
A quick search revealed no further information. I have no idea when the download disappeared.
Does anyone know what happened to Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition? My guess is that it was discontinued in favor of the Expression Media Encoder, but I am not sure. At least the latter product has a shorter name!
Leave me a comment if you have any details, thanks!
