Download the MOSS SDK or the WSS SDK
We have officially made the released versions (we refer to it internally as “RTM,” or released to manufacturing) of the MOSS SDK for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the WSS SDK for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0!
· Download the MOSS SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6D94E307-67D9-41AC-B2D6-0074D6286FA9&displaylang=en
· Download the WSS SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=05e0dd12-8394-402b-8936-a07fe8afaffd&displaylang=en
SDK Highlights
We created two downloads for your convenience: one for MOSS developers and a second for WSS platform developers. If you are developing against WSS only, you’ll want to install the WSS SDK; otherwise, downloading the MOSS SDK will give you everything you need—including platform information!
