FrontPage 2003 is the last version of FrontPage. It will continue to be supported by Microsoft until January 2011, with full support until Jan 2009.


FrontPage has been replaced by Expression Web and MS Office SharePoint Designer.
Expression Web is aimed at standards compliant web sites, and has limited support for FrontPage components. SharePoint Designer is aimed at SharePoint websites, but has more support for FrontPage Components.
Neither program has any support for VML graphics (WordArt, ShapeArt, TextBoxes and objects created using the Drawing toolbar).

A trial for Expression Web is available from http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Overview.aspx?key=web

IMPORTANT: Do not forget the product key obtainable from a link on the download page.

The newsgroup for Expression Web is microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner
The link
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner
should open the group in your news reader.

FYI, FrontPage extensions are only supported on Windows 2003/2008 servers - other server types (Unix, Windows 2000) have no support for extensions other than that given by hosts. There is a version of FP extensions available for IIS7, used by Windows Server 2008 and Vista.
