SharePoint designer 2010 and Expression Web 3

I installed office 2010 beta on my laptop - including SharePoint designer. But to my surprise it didn’t connect with my web hotel from fastname.no with FrontPage extensions. A quick search gave me the information that SharePoint designer will only support SharePoint sites – so you’ll need a different tool from Microsoft named Expression Web 3 if you want to continue to utilize FrontPage extensions without SharePoint services.

Yes, I could drop all the Microsoft services and extensions; replace it all with PHP etc, but I have so many nice web applications developed in ASP 3.0 that I use for small and big projects. I don’t want to move these applications to a new language – I just want it to work. The reason that I have used FrontPage extensions is because it is an easy way to connect directly to the files. I use text view – and it marks the coding. It is an easy way to connect to the IIS-server.
I have done some scripting in PHP, but my language of choice is ASP. I guess it is because it is so related to Visual Basic.
