Sharepoint newbie Question

[losercore]

Can someone please help me understand the versions of SharePoint?

Are WSS 3.0 and SharePoint 2003 the same thing?

I'm just a little confused with all the versions and names I see.

Thanks

SharePoint 2003 and WSS 2.0 are more or less the same thing.

Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 and WSS 3.0 are part of the same set/generation of technologies - MOSS 2007 is a larger package than WSS 3.0, but WSS 3.0 is the foundation of MOSS 2007.

WSS 3.0 is a ham and cheese sandwich on a sourdough bun. MOSS 2007 is a big deli sandwich that includes ham and cheese and the same bun.

Thanks. that sums it up well. Perfect analogy

Ok so now I know why I was getting confused. i thought WSS 3 was the older version and MOSS was the new version. Now I got it. That explains why the book i'm ready regarding configuring was reffering to 2003 and I had WSS 3.0 and everything was off.


Thanks again
