Coexist MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 on the same server? - Sharepoint

No. You can't have both *products* installed on the same server. MOSS as
you know includes WSS 3.0 functionality.

You are correct that if you have a completely separate WSS 3.0 "farm"
(one or more) that you then only need the *server-based* Internet
connection license which is about 2K and is thus much cheaper than the
very high price of the MOSS Internet Connection license.

Thanks for that. Very clear
Any ideas on best way to move selective sites from MOSS 2007 to WSS3.0?
Thanks

Try Save site as Template.

If the site is using MOSS functionality in some way, it won't work of
course.

So you might need to go down to saving the individual Lists/Libraries as
Templates instead.

(Not tested but should work)

You should also look at stsadm but my fear is that that may be more
dependent on bein able only to move MOSS to *MOSS*.
