<< The
speculation is that FP suffered in branding because it was sold with the
bundle of products that were sold to secretaries and assistants. The
speculation continues that by separating it from the Office bundle it can
appear more of a "professional" package>>

James .... This may be the wrong group to insinuate that the rest of the
Office programs are only used by "secretaries and assistants" and now
FrontPage will be for "professionals".  I know a hell of a lot of
professionals who use Excel, Access, and Word (not to mention Outlook), so I
kind of resent the fact that you infer that web and graphics people are
"professionals" and the rest of us are secretaries and assistants. Please
don't bring that holier-than-thou web/graphics crap into THIS group....I've
left many a web design and graphics group for that very reason.

I know I'm not allowed to say too much about the Office 2007 beta, but I can
tell you that so far, FrontPage is definitely included in the downloads I
got when I got the beta, so as far as I'm concerned, it still appears to be
part of Office.
