Functionality Added By the Update

Visual Interdev Creates New Web Sites in Low Security Context

On a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer, if you create a subweb by using Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0, it is automatically created as an application. The default setting is to run that application in-process. After you install the update, the new default setting for the FrontPage Server Extensions update is to run the application out-of-process. This improves security.
