Many of us have seen a range of commercial software offerings that enable organizations to aggregate Web content into corporate portals. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (or "MOSS") is the second generation of Microsoft's foray into the corporate portal space.

MOSS connects people, teams, and knowledge across business processes, as well as unifies disparate information, facilitates easy collaboration on documents, projects, and other efforts, and presents specific applications and customized content based on a user's functional group and organizational role.

Any features that are available in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 are also available in Office SharePoint Server 2007. Windows SharePoint Services is an enabling technology that is included in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. It helps teams stay connected and productive by providing easy access to the people, documents, and information that they need to make well-informed decisions and get work done. Office SharePoint Server 2007 relies on the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 technology to provide a consistent, familiar framework for lists and libraries, site administration, and site customization.

Additionally, Office SharePoint Server 2007 offers enhancements. For example, both Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services include site templates for collaborating with colleagues and setting up meetings. However, Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes a number of additional site templates related to enterprise and publishing scenarios.
