From: Gary Britt 

My wife is by no means a expert deep level sophisticated user of frontpage
2003, but she hasn't experienced anything like you are describing.

I wonder how much standards based the standards based HTML in the new
product will be?  Does dreamweaver's code produce standards based HTML?

If they aren't going to update FrontPage any more its hardly a knock to say
they aren't going to update the extensions for Unix.
