I have been downloaded it and not really interested
I am missing Frontpage. It was available on 2003, but newer versions do not bring back it.
Downloaded the Professional version, no problem. Installed as an ugrade to an existing 2007 suite. Impressed with Outlook, too soon to find the extras of the remaining programs. Tried a Remove operation. Not amused, it is not possible to remove the installation completely in order to re-install 2007. Tried removing all traces from the registry but reinstall was not an option, neither was repair. Suspect this may have something to do with the SP2 installation for 2007 which I cant re-install. Am now faced with a disk wipe and ‘start again’ cenario.
