Why pick MOSS over WSS?
I’m sure this question comes up often, why pick one over the other. WSS is free, while MOSS comes with a hefty price tag. Here is a good link; http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/FX101758691033.aspx, but really what is it all about? In my humble opinion it’s about Search, enterprise search to be exact. I think any organization could benefit from MOSS, but with MOSS comes the price. Many times “free” of WSS is the right price, and enterprise level search is a "nice to have" along with other MOSS features. In the perfect world software would do what you need it to do, and cost what you can afford, and all search would be had by all.
