I read an overview of the Vista OS on the Wikipedia. I believe, it stated
that Vista will no longer support Frontpage Extensions.

Since FrontPage is being discontinued, does this mean that the FP extensions
are being phased out as a means of uploading web sites?

FrontPage Extension development stopped with the 2002 version of the
extensions. They are being phased out, but not necessarily as a means of
uploading a site. Since Vista doesn't have a server counterpart yet (at
least not for a year or two) we'll still have Win 200x available as a
platform, and Win 2003 and 2000 servers do support the extensions. Basically
though, FP has been decoupled greatly from the extensions over recent
versions though still used the metadata for publishing. EWD no longer needs
metadata folders so it's removed the last vestiges of the extensions form
it's makeup for publishing. I believe EWD will have deprecated most of the
bot functionality that madeup the extensions so the need for them is
definitely being phased out. Webdav is also another http alternative to
publishing that has caught on and is similar to the extensions so perhaps
some people will switch to that. I believe though that we'll see most users
going back to good old FTP since they don't need to worry about breaking the
server extensions anymore.

"The FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download is not available
anymore from the Microsoft web sites. This is due to the fact that the
mainstream support for FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download
which follows the Office XP/FrontPage 2002 life cycle expired on
7/11/2006. The following article explains the timelines:

What did you do about loading Frontpage on Vista? I am in same situation as
you -- pc crashed and bought a new one with Vista OS. I downloaded a trial
of Expression Web (supposedly Frontpage's replacement) and did not like it.
I want to purchase FP 2003 and continue on as I have been but am leary about
FP2003 working with Vista.

Frontpage 2003 will work with Vista. I would think FP 2002 will as
well, but I don't know about FP 2000.

Make sure you apply Service Pack 1 for MS Office/Frontpage once you have
installed it.

Frontpage works fine on Vista. I am using 2002. Absolutely no problem.
