You cannot use the TechNet security bulletin search for FrontPage
stuff. Its just not accurate. Sometimes FrontPage fixes are
classified under FrontPage, sometimes under IIS, and sometimes under
Windows 2000. Sometimes they are patched with their own service pack
(which are not listed at the TechNet security site). Sometimes they
are included in the win2k services packs and security roll-ups and
sometimes they are not. Oh and sometimes they are updated with
service packs of other products, such as MS Office.
