I am only aware of the no further development thing through discussion on the ISA list. It is my understanding that they have announced no plans for any kind of successor. Here are a couple of links that discuss it.

I am trying to get a look at our volume licensing paperwork to see if this is in there so at least I can get it loaded. I will pass on the fact that no more TMG for also. Do you know if they are creating a new proxy server product then? Much appreciated!

It evolved from the old Proxy Server which also was not free. There is no free proxy server from Microsoft of which I am aware. You should also be aware that Microsoft is no longer developing new versions of TMG.

I'm trying to investigate something here. I've been instructed to install a Proxy server on Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit) Everything I'm seeing says you can't use ISA 2006 on 2008 64 bit server. It seems as though Forefront TMG 2010 is the microsoft product for creating a proxy server. Howerver, it also seems like it costs to do this. So my questions are 1) Was ISA free for a proxy server? 2) Is TMG the only Microsoft product you can use to build a proxy server on 2008 R2 ?
