SharePoint server 和 SharePoint service 的關係

How are SharePoint Portal Server and Windows SharePoint Services Related?

Windows SharePoint Services delivers sites for team collaboration and productivity, facilitating large numbers of smart places. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 connects these places, people, knowledge, and business processes, facilitating smart organizations.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 capitalizes on Windows SharePoint Services by using SharePoint sites to create portal pages for people, information, and organizations. While these sites are specific to SharePoint Portal Server 2003, they use technologies such as Web Parts and SharePoint document libraries that are delivered by the Windows SharePoint Services platform. This integration greatly reduces the time and cost associated with development, training, and support.
