As I have mentioned in my previous piece, Microsoft Search Server 2008 (MSS) and Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express (MSSX) are built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. It is designed for an organization who wants to benefit from the power of search without having Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. There are times, however, that we need to upgrade our existing MSS 2008 or MSSX 2008 to MOSS 2007, or moving our existing WSS 3.0 to MSS 2000 or MSSX 2008.

Microsoft Search Server 2008 (MSS) and Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express (MSSX) are built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. It is designed for an organization who wants to benefit from the power of search without having Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

If we are running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and want to enjoy the power of enterprise searching, therefore, we need MSS or MSSX. Microsoft has provided us guide to compare and identify which search product is right for us.

Excel Services is a part of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and is built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and ASP.NET. Architecturally, it is a composite of Excel Web Access, Excel Web Services, and Excel Calculation Services.

Moreover, the Excel Calculation Services is designed to load, calculate, and refresh data.

While busy preparing for the first release of Philippine Windows Users Group newsletter and finalizing my slide deck and demonstration for an MSDN session, I thought of gathering reading materials, presentation contents, and demonstration videos on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
