As far as I got in my testing MOSS fixed issues with the account setup, which I will concede most will just say is enhanced. Management of groups looks to be better as is, I would hope based on comments, management of the down level sites is suppose to be better for the non-admin types that demand the ability to set up their own sites. <shudder> They also added other features that while most will not use them I have a couple of people that would. I will admit the last time I looked at this was, I think, pre-SP 1 for WSS. I spent about 3 months testing the setup and allowing some of the end users that would admin their own areas to use it. The plug was pulled by upper management. I also only had a few hours in a shared lab to look at MOSS. I had a devil of a time getting WSS to work with SQL 2005 and learned a lot about setting up SQL and getting WSS up at the time but the account creation and control as was email access for WSS a major issue. At the time I got it kind of working with IIS 6 using SMTP but it was only a hacked up job. We finally just got moved into Exchange in mid-2008 which would make it viable now probably but I don't have the time at the moment to put in a test set up. I had hoped that with the release of Server 2008 Microsoft would up date WSS and make it worth looking at it again.
