If you thought that the "war" with Microsoft couldn't move into any more places on the web, then here's a new story that might interest you. Linux open source developer SQLFusion says it's taking on Microsoft FrontPage with its first commercial product, a server-based software system aimed at quick, WYSIWYG creation of Web pages from Linux, Windows, and other desktops.

It sounds like they do have some advantages over the Microsoft product with their PAgeBuilder, including: the ability to quickly and easily change the structure of a page once it's already created, add images/drag & drop text/change fonts, colors, and backgrounds, and a library to hold your current images for quick and easy access.

PageBuilder operates on top of SQLFusion's PAS Application Server for PHP. So, too, does PAS Web IDE (Integrated Development Environment), a new commercial product meant to ease database development. In the future, SQLFusion plans to add more tools to PageBuilder, along with a clip art library, according to Lewicki.

Sounds like there's a lot in store for this product - I, for one, am excited to see where this PHP-based technology might lead...
