I have used Expression Graphic Designer, and used it to create images, including screenshots of the application itself which I have posted on my website, and Microsoft themselves have linked to them (well, one time anyway).
There are public newsgroups hosted by MS in which people post images created with EGD.
It sounds like a difficult to enforce, if even legal, sort of claim for Microsoft to make, that they would have some rights over what you create using their software. Expression Graphic Designer is in public Community Technology Preview release. Restrictions similar to what original poster has in mind do apply to private, unreleased builds (usually this agreement will be made in writing), but in my opinion (often quickly proven to be wrong) you can safely use the logo you made without worry or guilt.
Here is a page on a community site where they discuss a contest where they chose their logo from several submitted - the rule being they had to be created in Expression Graphic Designer.

Citizen David Lyncheski ...I would have thought that Po's version/s in #8 would be totally legitimate to use as you are wanting to.
He recreated the image for you with a 'legal' proggy [not a restricted trial], so you are free to use it/them....
