RE: Public folders questions
To add to MBS on this one, the new WSS 3.0 is much more intuitive and easier to manage than WSS 2.0 or SPS 3.0 If you have never used the software before, a book by Bill English or Ted Patterson might make your life better, but once you understand the setup its not to bad to produce some useful sites. -troy From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 9:54 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Public folders questions Anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Sharepoint?

RE: Public folders questions
WSS is free? I see on the website you can download a free WSS 3.0 trial but not FREE free...? Ehren J.
