Yes, Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 is a Tool for sophisticated Web site
development or the creation of customized solutions for Windows SharePoint
Services, so if you plan to customize SharePoint, you need to purchase SBS
Premium Edition which includes FrontPage 2003. for more detail information,
