Negative Positive
Title: overpromises and underdelivers
Review: I know I'm a bit late in reviewing this book, which I bought in 1998, however I think this is probably the beginning of Microsoft's huge failure in the internet (browser, services, mobile, etc). Microsoft actually got it right with Internet Explorer, capturing circa 90% share because it was a better browser than netscape and the like. However, instead of keeping up that way, they wanted to rule the internet with monopolistic tricks, boycotting other products and Front Page was not an insignificant element in this strategy as in those days the way you built a website was seen as another (or "the") way to force users to use internet explorer. Again...no push, no services, no embedded java, nothing like that, therefore you couldn't use the very basic internet features of the day. I remember having gone to flash and dreamweaver because of that. So, bottom line, the book is not bad, what was bad was Front Page 98.
Is the review positive or negative?
