Intro to Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0

Yesterday I installed the .NET framework, WSS 3.0, the SharePoint Application Template Core and a pre-built application template for a Document Library and Review which included threaded discussion. Out of the box, the whole thing ties into our user accounts so all our actions are linked to our usernames as we move through the app. There are many pre-built app templates available on Microsoft's TechNet

Despite being a M$ product, WSS seems like an excellent, full-featured web app framework. Installation was slightly more complex than normal for M$ products, involving uncompressing files and utilizing the ol' command line, but a cinch coming from a Linux background.
