What is the scoop does not Bill Gates have all of the money in the world and is trying to get more.
Was informed yesterday that Microsoft is no longer going to support Front Page as a choice of software to upload to your web host server. I am not web page savvy so my information is second hand from my web designer don't know If I understand what is actually happening but sounds to me as if Mr. Gates is forcing everyone with front page to purchase upgraded software. Am I reading this right. What is going On Dom explain please in plain English.

We will continue to serve the diverse needs of our existing FrontPage customers with the introduction of two brand-new application building and Web authoring tools using the latest technologies: Office SharePoint Designer 2007 for the enterprise information workers and Expression Web for the professional Web designe more info |

Charley,
It is no different than Windows 98, ME or any other old programs. The programs have aged to the point that they no longer are able to meet today's standards. It does not make economic sense to keep a staff on to support an older program. Quite frustrating at times but usually there are message boards where you can get better help than from someone who is just reading from a script. I was in the same boat with my website software. It does not support Java, flash or many of the current and commonly used programs. I found Site Spinner and it does all these things as well as makes it much easier to change all the important SEO items. I should be done with my new site this week.

Charley,
It's exactly as the others said. They want to make more money. By stopping all development they FORCE everyone to buy their new web design program. Before people would just keep using old versions of frontpage as the newer versions didn't add that much. The crappy thing is not only do you have to buy new software but so do all the schools, as well as new textbooks. New money for the them too. Don't worry, we'll get you set up with the new Home Inspector Pro hosting service, it will be even easier for you to use than frontpage was. 2008 InterNACHI Member and Innovator of the Year HOME INSPECTOR PRO HOME INSPECTION SOFTWARE NOW ONLY $499 ($15O OFF!!)

Microsoft OS is a joke. Its so convoluted and backwards and not user friendly at all.
You can't access Microsoft updates using Mozilla, you are forced to use Internet Explorer. Its a monopolistic parasite. |

That's part of the reason I help move 500 school computers to Ubuntu (linux) and OpenOffice a few weeks ago. Saved them about $50,000. There's a free alternative program to ALMOST every commercial program out there. I even considered making Home Inspector Pro free at one point and just charging for the monthly upload service but since not all home inspectors would use the upload service I wouldn't be able to make a living off of it.

Yup, they've definitely brought a lot of good stuff to the table too. I guess it's hard when you get that large. Think of all the employees they have, all the tax revenue they generate, etc..

Microsoft can't even standardize its windows when you save files.
Because its a huge monopoly it buys out the competition. That doesn't help create new intuitive, better functioning software. |

You can bash the Gates but I think you should look at what he puts out as donations and charity. Its not how much money you have, its what you do with it and gates understands this basic principle.
