What is SharePoint 2003?

Maxim Karpov's What is SharePoint 2003? article is a great intro for anyone who doesn't yet have their head around what Microsoft are talking about when they say "SharePoint".

The short answer for those of you allergic to following links is that:

"SharePoint" is therefore a set of technology products, which allows us to manage our intellectual property (documents, presentations, etc.) and enables virtual teams to collaborate on the information. Technology has changed, but our need for managing and providing access to information is still with us!

Of course I already did know this answer, but Max explains it so neatly that it's a useful link to keep around.
