Microsoft has traditionally offered 2 SharePoint products. Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and SharePoint Portal Server (SPS). Up until recently Windows SharePoint Services has been primarily a collaboration tool while SharePoint Portal Server had 3 main components:
1) Collaboration
2) Enterprise Search
3) Portal
In the current release some names and functionality have changed. Windows SharePoint Services is still known as WSS and the current version is WSS 3.0. SharePoint Portal Server has now been expanded and renamed to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). MOSS 2007 main components include:
1) Collaboration
2) Enterprise Search
3) Portals
4) Enterprise Content Management
5) Business Process and Forms
6) Business Intelligence
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a broad term which encompases Content Management Server (CMS) functionality. CMS will be discontinued but supported, while MOSS 2007 will take its place.
Frontpage is now SharePoint Designer, which is capable of no-code workflow, which is great for prototyping or for non-technical individuals. Expression Web will be the replacement product for non-SharePoint web designers.
