New Version Of Office Suite

[Gerry Hickman]

So Share Point Designer is part of Office 2007 (regardless of the release).

I don't see where it says it will be "part of Office 2007 regardless of
release", can you clarify?

Can we assume that FrontPage User can migrate to Share Point Designer...
easily (ha ha).

In general no, because SharePoint designer will be useless without a
SharePoint server. Currently you would need a fully licensed Windows
Server 2003 to be able to run SharePoint. It's an impractical setup for
many SME's because you can't run SharePoint and Frontpage extensions on
the same server (without hacking and host headers) and it's also not
compatible with Visual Studio 2005 (which requires Frontpage extensions
to be able to publish over HTTP which is what the web is all about).

I'm guessing that MS Office Sharepoint Designer 2007 (targeted to MS Office sharepoint site support and development) and its sibling
MS Expression Web Designer

The Expression Web Designer sounds nice, I wonder if it will support
publishing via Frontpage Extensions and will those extensions be
available for UNIX/Linux? If not, the "standards based" appeal of the
tool could be somewhat lost.

The other issue is can you run Office Sharepoint 2007 on the same server
as Windows Sharepoint Services v2 (as supplied with server 2003)?

Hi Gerry,

Yep, you're right The pricing for the MS Office Project 2007 client apps (Standard and Pro) are listed on
http://microsoft.com/office/preview/pricing.mspx#ERC

the MS Office Project & Visio 2006 conference at

There are MS team blogs for each of the MS Office 2007 apps (some more active than others) might be good place for feedback /
questions on each of the apps. The Project 2007 current blog is at http://blogs.msdn.com/project

(For upcoming Office 2007 live events in the U.K., this may be a helpful location. http://blogs.msdn.com/officerocker/ )

Hi Bob,

I looked at that page, but can't see anything about the Project
