Today, Microsoft released SP1 for two SharePoint products, Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows® SharePoint Services. Available as seperate updates the two updates provide Windows SharePoint Services with support for larger files (share and save docs as large as 2GB) & better update support. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is updated with improved searching and content watson functionality (streamlined issue reporting better customers and MS Dev team).
Windows SharePoint Services is a Web-based team collaboration environment built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, a highly reliable and manageable platform. Windows SharePoint Services allows anyone with a Web browser to create and access virtual work spaces for managing documents, discussions, lists, surveys and other important contextual information such as team member status and presence.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 extends the capabilities of Windows SharePoint Services by providing organization, indexing and management tools for SharePoint-based sites and enabling information captured in sites to be published to the entire organization.
