WHAT IS SHAREPOINT? http://www.sbasetech.net/microsoftsharepoint/
SharePoint is a combination of two different technologies: Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) which is free and comes with Windows server 2003 and another one is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) which isn't free. http://www.sbasetech.net/microsoftsharepoint/
WSS performs lots of out of the box functionalities for managingWSS performs lots of out of the box functionalities for managing documents in document libraries and projects online. Projects, tasks, issues, or any tabular data, are managed in lists. Lists are similar to document libraries. They have permissions and views along with simple search as well. http://www.sbasetech.net/microsoftsharepoint/

And you have more control over page layouts. It's meant more for internet style sites while WSS is more for intranet sites. MOSS offer a better search and also has more publishing capabilities which WSS lacks. And user can have more control over page layouts. http://www.sbasetech.net/microsoftsharepoint/
Know why it is popular: WSS is popular because it costs free and provides so much out of the box. One can solve many common office requests with WSS. Stuff like issue trackers, project management and document management are trivial in WSS. In simple, it’s a jack of all trades good at many, master of none. MOSS is probably less popular because it’s not free and a year old. Search isn't that great. It does do a good job of creating a company directory. http://www.sbasetech.net/microsoftsharepoint/
