Anyone played with this porgram much? What is your impression? Seems to me to be a bit more stable than dreamweaver and I like some of the extra features like the preview in sized browser or multiple browsers, and the page size info on the bottom bar.

I looked at it breifly when it first launched.

I wasnt ready to move away from DW. However I will mention that the features you mentioned are indeed in Dreamweaver.

A little more about the program in question thou... I was expecting a little more than what I saw in the rebirth of Frontpage. MS is going after Adobe hard and it'll be worth checking out again when they release v2 and MS's version of a PDF.

I am excited to see MS's attempt at delving back into the wysiwyg world. As a asp programmer I am thoroughly impressed with there 3rd gen .net 2.0 apps. The new framework has opened countless doors to the web application world. Now with 3.0 around the corner it is exciting to see an integration of the design end of web dev and the programming. Hopefully the licensing will be cheaper going with one mfg than 4. IE> adobe ps, corel draw, dreamweaver, visual studio. It gets expensive. Which is what we usually use on projects start to finish.

Just my 2 cents
Cheers
