History behind MOSS?

MOSS is the the third version of original SharePoint 2001. The SharePoint 2001 was an Exchange-based application that offered the basic team services capability and a more advanced portal capability.

Next to that is SharePoint 2003 which consisted of two different server applications: One was Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 (commonly referred to as WSS), a collaborative web-based framework based on ASP.NET 1.1 - the data repository of which became SQL server. The other, SharePoint 2003 Portal Server, was for enterprise portals, and added personalization, enterprise search, single sign-on and other features.

The 2007 edition of the SharePoint is truly a revolutionary upgrade. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is based on the ASP.Net 2.0 Web Parts framework, and has Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) built into its underpinnings. MOSS 2007, in addition to personalization and a hugely upgraded enterprise search capability, offers content management capabilities such as workflow and publishing approval templates, metadata management and enforcement, records expiration, and document policy management; InfoPath Forms Services; Excel Services; a business data catalog; and far more.
