I agree with what's been said about FrontPage, it is yet
another anti-competitive effort by M$ to create a standard
they will not share and that is not compatible.

It is plenty easy to use one of the many many free Web
page apps out there.

arachnophilia is a good one for Linux.

Google or AskJeeves or another search engine should turn
up dozens of them for M$, Apple, or Linux.

Any Web browser together with any editor is more than
sufficient for most basic user needs.

Everything I build is done that way.
