The alternative is pretty clear to me... don't use IIS/FrontPage if it requires you to redo your entire infrastructure or approach in order to support it.
I don't think that's an option, unfortunately. The challenge is to give customers what they need, rather than what they think they want. They want NT. What they need is an easy way to manage the content of their Web site and the e-mail of their employees, without having the first clue about the Internet. Writing our own software to do that would take a lot longer than buying an off-the-shelf product. Maybe we'll go with FrontPage with Apache on Solaris, or perhaps we'll find that NFS on NT with the Netapp does the job for us.
