Just back from my MCM SharePoint experience in Redmond I received an email from the dutch Software Development Network (SDN) organisation to give a talk on friday june 26th.

MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 are using the same search engine. It only differs in the options that are available to each of the products. As expected, MOSS 2007 has a lot more functionality then WSS 3.0.
