SharePoint 2010 and 2007 Comparison
Microsoft divided both SharePoint 2007 and 2010 into 6 different core functional areas and these core concepts have evolved from the 2007 to the 2010 version.
In SharePoint 2007, the six functional areas include:
Ø Collaboration
Ø Portal
Ø Search
Ø Content management
Ø Business forms
Ø Business intelligence
The 2007 release included the first forays into both web content management and connectivity with back-end business systems. However, for the majority of users, SharePoint 2007 was really used as a glorified file sharing service, with a bit of collaboration added on.
SharePoint 2010 aims to change this — to really move towards Microsoft's dream of SharePoint as an enterprise platform for many different information applications and information worker uses.
The 2010 release offers a number of improvements over the 2007 product, including user interface improvements, greater social capabilities, deeper business intelligence, advanced records and document management and better integration with other systems.
