you'll be able to run any version of FrontPage you like. windows xp pro
comes with iis and you can also put fp 2000, or 2002 extensions on it.
usually you'll have to install the server after you upgrade to xp pro.
just put the disk back in and select the, if memory serves, "install
additional components".
HTH
btw you're going to LOVE xp pro. it's really awesome. I went to it after
win-98SE.
