Program and Employ Windows Services for Microsoft SharePoint 2007

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) 2007 are Microsoft's innovative tools that allow for collaboration and communication within organizations, enabling the smooth flow of documents and information. SharePoint 2007 has an extended Application Programming Interface (API) and an Object Model that reaches most parts of the system, allowing for greater program functionality not present in SharePoint's default system.

Windows Services are applications that launch automatically at the moment of booting and operate in the background as long as Windows runs. They are useful to create long-running, independent applications without user interaction. Because they require a major part of the physical resources of the servers, sometimes it is necessary to execute SharePoint processes in the background; Windows Services ensure these tasks function in periods of low-user load. Windows Services can also manage SharePoint activities because they run independently of WSS (and MOSS), depending exclusively on the Windows infrastructure.
