Fundamentally, MOSS provides an integrated platform for building customized Web-based applications and portals in Windows Server environments.

The free version, Windows SharePoint Server (WSS), usually referred to as simply "Sharepoint," is available as a free download included with every Windows Server license.

    MOSS includes additional features as an inducement for system administrators to upgrade from WSS, including knowledge management, organization of business processes and enterprise search.

    administrator concerns for data security, MOSS can be configured to return separate content depending on whether access is gained from intranet, extranet or Internet locations. Active Directory groups or HTML forms authentication can also be added to MOSS, granting multiple permissions to multiple parties or through alternate providers.

    MOSS also uses embeddable widgets in shared Web pages to add additional functionality. Widgets include:

    •shared workspaces and personal dashboards
    •navigation tools
    •lists
    •automatic alerts, including email and integrated RSS
