        Presumably.

        Although I'm a little surprised that you'd have to ask this question.
I'd have thought that anyone paying thousands of dollars a year for an
MSDN subscription (the *ONLY* legitimate means of downloading Microsoft
products) would already know about such things. After all, the MSDN
(Microsoft Software Developers Network) is intended for people who are
advanced users developing programs and applications for use with
Microsoft products.

        If you obtained the FrontPage *.ISO from any source other than MSDN, be
advised that:

1) It is pirated (stolen, to be blunt) software. If you use it, that
also makes you a thief, and could even make you liable to civil
penalties of up to $50,000.00 USD.

2) It quite likely will not activate, nor will you be allowed to
download/install and necessary patches to it.

3) It comes from an illegitimate source, so it's also likely to contain
malware such as viruses, spyware, keystroke loggers, etc. Remember,
whoever's distributing this illegitimate software has already
demonstrated his/her complete lack of integrity; how could you possibly
trust him to provide a safe "product?"
