Microsoft Office 2007 is packaged in seven different bundles. However, Microsoft Frontpage is missing from all the permutations and combinations of Office 2007.

Microsoft Frontpage is being replaced with Microsoft Office SharePoint Web Designer 2007 and Microsoft Expression Web Designer - both of them are based on Microsoft FrontPage but serve different audiences.

typical cubicle dwellers looking to post information on internal Web
sites and automate business processes.

Macromedia Dreamweaver.
