The SharePoint Hive

The reason why I am asking is because i am doing an evaluation about sharepoint services 2.0 to be used as our collaboration portal in the organization i am working for, I really need to know this, because I was able to install sharepoint services 2.0 on one of our servers without any license being asked. I was also even able to create a simple site on the site manager and it is fully functional. the thing is i know that sharepoint is a propeitary, so i want to know, is the one i got a free version? if it is, what is the difference between the paid version, i need this as a comparison, on my document. THANK YOU for all the help i can get.

Chosen Answer:

Windows SharePoint Service (WSS) is free version, but Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) is paid version

More specifically how does it store files… as a diff or a new file for each new file version. This is in relation to SharePoint.

Chosen Answer:

SharePoint is a content manager – I’m not certain how it executes in relation to SQL Server but I would think it mainly would only track changes to the application software itself, not the tables within them…at most, I would suspect it only would track schema changes to the tables and other objects, not changes to individual data rows – that’s what log files are for.

Chosen Answer:

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example:

My subject is Teaching. I want to know where to get certified.

The search engine result is as follows:

Teaching + state certification requirements

What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachin…

This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck.
