    <h2>What is SharePoint?</h2> <p>The latest version of Microsoft SharePoint software is really two different products: </p> <ol> <li><strong>Windows SharePoint Services</strong> is a free download for Windows Server. In the latest version, known as WSS v3, collaborative web sites templates include basic blog and wiki services along with list templates for Image Libraries, Document Libraries, Contact lists, Calendars, Tasks and much more. </li> <li><strong>Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007</strong> or MOSS for short is built on Windows SharePoint Services. As a member of the Office Server product platform, it leverages the Microsoft Office client software to provide content on the web. Integration with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access and InfoPath provide rich web content from familiar content creation tools.</li> </ol> <h2>Why is it so popular</h2> <p><strong>File Sharing</strong> SharePoint originally became popular because it was an easy way to share documents on the web. Many organizations that adopted SharePoint in the 2003 versions capitalized on the ability to upload documents to Document Libaries and share those documents with others.<br> <strong>Company Extranets</strong> One great example of this web based sharing, is a company extranet where users are not all in one location or authentication domain. Using form based authentication, accounts can be created for people across physical and company boundaries. By allowing one place for shared documents around a task rather than a corporate entity, SharePoint goes way beyond the common file share.<br> <strong>Content Management</strong> There are plenty of other Content Management Systems, but MOSS incorporated the functionality of the previously name Microsoft Content Management System which itself often cost more than MOSS alone. Check out <a href="http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/websites.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this large list of public websites and blogs hosted on SharePoint</a> And that is not all of them.<br> <strong>Search</strong> Search is greatly improved in SharePoint 2007 technologies. Search results are security trimmed, relevant and performant unlike the previous 2003 version. Bad search in SharePoint 2003 products lead to a lot of dissatisfaction with the product.</p>
