No, you can buy it separately.

You might wanna comb ebay for an older version, much cheaper.

You'll receive a large-ish envelope turn up at your door and in one of the packs is a cardboard thing with several CDs (Small Business Server I think).

Sadly (!) all the server softwares are all evaluation, but bundled with it are Frontpage and Outlook CDs (they look like the genuine article; holographic and all that but have not for sale/OEM use etc on them) complete with keys stamped on the cardboard thing. I've installed them and been using Outlook 2003 for a while and it does not appear to have been time-bombed, so I assume they're full versions.

you could let us all know by setting your date ahead 6 months,of course if it is timebombed it will fubar your outlook,but the rest of us would know for sure :LOL:

one of the things i like about outlook is , that you can put it in the sytem tray ,
at the moment i use pop peeper so i can have the email check every 10 mins .you just cant do that with outlook express ,but you can with outlook and it has a calender reminder ect ,,:)

I got Outlook packaged with a SVC C500 mobile phone from Orange if you have a dealer nearby you could pop in and ask if there is a possibility of a purchase and at what price.
You can only try !

What version of Front Page is it? I have Office 2003 (my work have signed up for 'Microsoft Employee Purchase Program', which means I can can a legimate & licences copy of 2003, as long as I use it & have a license at work - and it only cost me £16!)

However, I do not have a copy recent copy of Frontpage - and am using Frontpage 2000 - so not sure what added value this latest verison (if it is latest) will have.

2003 I believe. I've not tried it though as I use Dreamweaver.

and that would be.......... (going ever so slightly off-topic - sorry)

Front page is becoming a pain, as pags created in it work fine on explorer, but not Firefox.

If you can afford Office with Front Page, go buy Dreamweaver too, its an absolutely excellent package, I am using it just now :)
