SharePoint 2010 Acronyms

Thanks to our friend, Todd, for his timely comment regarding TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)

As he explains here, we’ll follow his lead and use:

SPF for SharePoint Foundation 2010 as the replacement for WSS

and we’ll use:

SPS for SharePoint Server 2010 as the replacement for MOSS.

Our branding experts will tell us that it’s cool that SharePoint is now it’s own lead product without the need to borrow a “W” for Windows or an “M” for Microsoft just to make a cool acronym.

Also, as Todd points out, we’ll all take some comfort in the fact that SPD and SPW are acronyms of a conveniently similar format.

I have to admit, was never a fan of the FLA, “MOSS” but Microsoft pays it’s own brand managers.
