They would certainly be SOL unless/until RTR makes extensions for Win7.
When/If there will be any further extensions development for other O/S? Who
knows.

Any reason why you can't use a disc-based web? A disc based web located in
the wwwroot folder would work if you tested pages using
tp://localhost/ - except for those pages that require extensions (forms).
For those who don't need a server for testing FrontPage works perfectly on
Windows 7, so not EVERY FrontPage user is SOL.

I already use localhost for FrontPage testing. I use the extensions for
online forms. I've tried using Perl on a Dreamweaver web that uses forms and
was able to get it to work but it is difficult to work with. Does not
provide the type of completion page you can easily design with FrontPage, or
if it can I haven't figured out how yet (:- ]
If there is a better form handler than Perl could you please let me know?

I will "hang in there" with XP for a while I guess.

Almost anything is better than Perl - I've used it.

What you use depends on where (which server - Unix or Windows) your site is
eventually hosted on, and what your host supports.
On Windows servers you can use "classic" asp, asp.NET or PHP. On Unix
usually only PHP, but some support asp and a tiny number support asp.NET.
You can download a Windows version of PHP and use that for testing. In
addition, Expression Web has some support for PHP which is lacking in
FrontPage.
