>As for FrontPage, it wants an actual web server to connect to instead of just using disk directories (although you can do this). And in order to use the web bots and stuff, you have to have an actual web server to load the FrontPage server extensions to. That's why it likes to install PWS. But PWS is NOT necessary for FrontPage to work.
