MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Microsoft’s SharePoint is a set of products and technologies primarily consists of
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0(WSS 3.0),
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS),
Microsft Share point search Server, and
Microsoft Sharepoint Designer view.
HISTORY OF SHAREPOINT

Around 2000, Microsoft unveiled an application called a Digital Dashboard. This web-based application used a new concept called web parts, which are rectangular areas on a web page that display some type of information, such as a list of contacts, links,
or documents. This was innovative because the user could now arrange the web parts on the web page herself, without any help from an HTML programmer.
In 2001, Microsoft released its first two SharePoint products. One was
SharePoint Team Services (STS), and the other was
SharePoint Portal Server (SPS).
In October 2003, Microsoft released its second generation of SharePoint. The old STS, now renamed Windows SharePoint Services (WSS2.0)
At the end of 2006, Microsoft released the third generation of SharePoint. WSS kept its name, and the version number changed to WSS 3.0.
WSS still was a free add-on for Windows 2003 Server and used an MS SQL–based server to store its content.
Its bigger brother Share point portal(SPS) was now renamed MS Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), but it was still an optional add-on to WSS and
was using the same MS SQL database as WSS. The MOSS server was available in different editions and with optional services,
such as MOSS 2007 Standard and MOSS 2007 Enterprise, plus Office Forms Server and Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Search.
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0(WSS 3.0),
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is a free add-on to Windows Server. WSS offers the base collaborative infrastructure, supporting HTTP- and HTTPS-based editing of documents, as well as document organization in document libraries, version control capabilities, wikis, and blogs. It also includes end-user functionality such as workflows, to-do lists, alerts and discussion boards,[1] which are exposed as web parts to be embedded into SharePoint pages. WSS was previously known as SharePoint Team Services.
A SharePoint site can have many subsites, the hierarchy of which, on Web servers, resembles the hierarchy of folders on file systems -- it is a tree-like structure.
The key components of SharePoint sites are lists and libraries.
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0(WSS 3.0),
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) is a costed component of the Microsoft Office server suite. MOSS is built on top of WSS and adds more functionality to it, including better document management, enterprise search functionality, navigation features, RSS support, as well as features from Microsoft Content Management Server. The Enterprise edition of MOSS also includes features for business data analysis, such as Excel Services and the Business Data Catalog. MOSS also provides integration with Microsoft Office applications, such as project management capabilities with Microsoft Project Server and the ability to expose Microsoft Office InfoPath forms via a browser.[2] It can also host specific libraries, such as PowerPoint Template Libraries, provided the server components of the specific application are installed. MOSS was previously known as SharePoint Server and SharePoint Portal Server.
