    The end of FrontPage? How will we be able to weed out faux webmasters if not by the FrontPage meta tag in document headers?:confused:

    Atleast they have understood that frontpage is no longer an attractive alternative for web developers. ;)

    No longer???:confused: It should have never been attractive to web developers. FrontPage was never more than a tool for amateurs and it was a poor tool at that.

    The issue is that frontpage extensions are being turned off on servers. So it won't work anymore.

    MS spent a lot of money to acquire FrontPage back in the day, but I guess they can afford it.
