FP 2003 applet preview does not work -- why downgrade?

[Paul M.]

I have spent literally hours trying to find how to get FP
2003 preview mode to properly display. Finally, I found
KB 323236, which says YOU CAN'T. This was also a problem
in FP 2002, and MS didn't fix it.

I am glad I still have a copy of FP 2000 to reinstall
after removing FP 2003. My question is: why downgrade to
Office 2003 components that don't work when Office 2000
components have more functionality.

I am sick of MS garbage that does not work as advertised,
and they know it and yet we still have to "eat the
dogfood."

DO I GET A REFUND for purchasing this fraudulent and
defective software?

JAVA support in all MS products is being removed
- thanks to SUN
Use File Preview in Browser and download the SUN JAVA engine

I have the Sun Java engine.
If Java works in IExplorer, why can't it run in FrontPage
Preview mode? Also, this bug existed in FP 2002 and was
never repaired.

So, FrontPage 2000 IS better than FrontPage 2003?

If Java support is being removed from all MS products,
does that mean that the current version of IExplorer (and
alternatives NETSCAPE, OPERA, etc.)will be better than
future *upgraded* MS IExplorer versions?

What about my REFUND?

The preview mode is not designed to run java. You need to use file |
preview in browser, once you have the java component installed.
