Difference between SharePoint 2010 and MOSS 2007

SP 2010
MOSS 2007
Look and feel
In SP 2010 look and feel perspective there will be a ribbon where we can have a look and feel like Office 2010
In MOSS 2007 there is no ribbon
Deployment of Web parts
In SharePoint 2010 deploying custom web part is pretty simple i.e. just right click on the solution and click Deploy
In MOSS 2007 you need to drag the dll either to bin or GAC
Silverlight Application
In SP 2010 we can create a Silverlight application directly from Visual Studio 2010
In MOSS 2007 we have to create a web part to host Silverlight application
Shared Database & Service Application
In SP 2010 there is no SSP but there is a concept of Service Application like BCS as one service application, Excel Services as another service application, User Profile as separate service application
General idea is that you have an application for each service, rather than one application with lots of service crammed into it
Own database rather than shared database in SP 2010
In MOSS 2007 we have SSP where we can work around with BI,Search Settings, User Profile Import, Excel Services, Info path
In Database also we use to have separate area for SSP stuff
Easy exports/imports between the forms
In SP 2010 we can update existing information
In MOSS 2007 through we can just read the information and we can't update the existing services
Improvement in Deployment
In SP 2010 we can Deploy through Farm based and solution based solution in SP 2010
In MOSS 2007 there is no such option
Alerts
In SP 2010 it has been improved in validation and unique values. While creating column itself we have an option "Allow Duplicate values" to Yes or No
In MOSS 2007 alerts were sent only through emails but in SP 2010 users can also send alerts to mobile device as SMS message. A New property delivery channel is introduced to indicate, whether the alerts is delivered as Email or an SMS message
Improvements of events
New events for list creation and web creation
No List and web events in MOSS 207
Getting Items from the list
In SP 2010 through object model we can fetch multiple list data by LINQ query and object model
In MOSS 2007 we can fetch only through object model
Rating
In SP 2010 we can have rating column by default
In MOSS 2007 we should install the feature that is available in codeplex to have rating
Key Word Suggestions
In SP 2010 we can have keyword suggestions
In MOSS 2007 we don’t have any keyword suggestions
Taxonomy
In SP 2010 we can create Taxonomy by using Managed Metadata service
In MOSS 2007 we don’t have taxonomy
Other Features
In SP 2010 we have Power Shell Scripting, JavaScript object model, Chart Web Parts
In MOSS 2007 we don’t have Power Shell Scripting, JavaScript object model, Chart Web Parts
Running stsadm command
In SP 2010 we have to go 14 hive path to run stsadm command
In MOSS 2007 we have to go 12 hive path to run stsadm command
Content Type Publisher
 In SharePoint 2010 we can create one specific web application which serves as a content type publisher and other web applications consumes those content types as a consumer from the main web application which is considered as a content type hub.
Here you do not have any options other than recreating the same content type in another web application .
