Re: testing ASP pages with Windows Front Page

Is there no hope for the millions who run XP Home? At the
time I made my decision to migrate to XP, there was no
justification for XP Pro. Didn't realize that I might want to
develop a web site later. Now that I'm running an XP Home
system with 800K files (two discs), I shudder to think of
migrating to XP Pro and having to start all over again..spending
days reinstalling software/files. It's not worth the effort/expense.
I can't find an equivalent IIs package on the web.
