Basic Install Issues1. Lack of manageability
2. Authentication issues (half-baked Kerberos)
3. Service accounts – there are none
4. Moving from a single server to a farm is a nightmare
5. SQL Express limitations: 1 CPU, 1 GB of RAM max, 4GB storage limit

TakeawaysThe “Free SharePoint” version (WSS 3.0) offers a lot of
OOB functionality: rapid site provisioning, AD integration, MS Office integration, versioning support
MOSS 2007 offers all of WSS functionality plus additional templates, user profiles (My Sites), Business Data Catalog (BDC), robust enterprise search, BI, RSS feeds
Both products can be customized and extended using SharePoint Designer (free program), PowerShell, or Visual Studio (.NET dev)
