| Introduction |
SharePoint 2007 is far more feature packed than SharePoint
2003, which is what Microsoft wanted to make sure of. They have also made
SharePoint 2007 even more extendable that 2003. This means that not only can
you immediately take advantage of the existing base of features, but you can
also develop your own features. For example, any WebPart that can be activated
is considered a feature. Any point of functionality that makes SharePoint more
useful, like base column types, is a feature. And any piece of functionality
that you can create in SharePoint that can be used by SharePoint or other users
is called a feature. So when you really look at it, Microsoft picked a pretty
good name … which is what confused me at first because a feature is just what
it sounds like… and I did not expect that.

You will have to provide me with allot more details than that. Pretend I'm sending the same request for help to you, and reconsider how you would like things described.
